I am learning a lot about qualitative analysis. In fact, I am conducting my qualitative analysis based on your thoughtful videos using Nvivo 12. In a doctoral thesis, can I make a reference to your TH-cam videos or it is only proper (In a doctoral thesis) to reference journals, books, and so on? Do you have any journal articles on qualitative analysis that I can reference? Thank you for your wonderful output of knowledge.
Thanks for the video! I am having the opposite issue - my child codes add up to about 710, but when I click aggregate codes my parent code is only showing 144 references. It's very frustrating - any idea what could be causing this?
This is most likely because lots of extracts have been coded with more than one code - which is absolutely fine by the way. So, if I have a theme called "Challenges", and then I have two child codes, "Mean teachers" and "Unprofessional teachers" (so, I have 1 reference each), but they were both used to code a sentence that says "I hate my teachers, they are so mean and do not act professionally at all" - this means, that your Aggregated number of codes, or References next to the Challenges theme will show 1 (because it is the same sentence)
there aren't. in fact, in one of these videos, I explain that the names do not matter as long as they make sense to you. When it comes to final themes, however, of course they should be understandable to your audience
Thank you this has helped me out a lot because it appears I have TONS of 'dirty codes.' I am a bit confused though ( not from how you explained it!) but as for my analysis - I am using newspaper articles to determine how the political orientation of newspapers has covered the defund the police movement 30-days pst Floyd. RQ1 is "how the "defund the police" concept is defined/conceptualized", and within those concepts - RQ2 "what are the arguments to why defunding the police is necessary", and RQ3 "what are the counterarguments (if any) opposing defunding?" - So for this I coded almost an entire paragraph with RQ1, than within that paragraph found the separate Top level codes (themes) to answer RQ2 and RQ3. This left me with all dirty codes for RQ1, but clean codes for R2 and R3. Do you have any advice on this as my supervisor does want me to report everything in a frequency table! Thank you in advance !
@@qualitativeresearcher I am afraid I do not know either! ( Panic laughing ! ). So for example after going through the data - I ended up with six main themes of how defunding is defined ( Reduce and Reallocate Police Funding, Re-Imagine Public Safety, Police Abolishment ..ect) and within those highlighted segments I also answered RQ and R3 ( so the arguments/counterarguments for why they want to reduce and reallocate police funds ect) I did this so when I ran a code relations analysis - I could see where to organize the arguments and create my framework. So I apologize - those six main themes are my only top level codes - and within those top level codes I ended up with organizing a hierarchy of sub-themes to answer R2 and R3 if that makes more sense
@@amandaloura8182 it does but I don't know how this relates to the "dirty codes" now. I can only recommend trying to do what I did, or something similar, to your codes :)

Thank you for the kind words. You have to check with the university, but nowadays it is acceptable to refer to this kind of online content
Awesome video! I really understand now, and I needed to understand this!
Thank you Troy! I'm glad I managed to explain this well
excellent video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you George!
Great tutorial, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thanks, i have learn a lot.
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for the video!

Can you or should you document the coding/aggregation process or just export the final coding library as the process reflects your analysis?
Just the final coding framework, but you can describe the analytic process in the methodology section/chapter
I do wonder if transparency of this nature would support the analytic process in terms of quality and rigour.
Hi
Could you please tell me how to clean up data for my coded transcripts in NVivo because I have 47 transcripts?
Thank you doctor
you're welcome :)
I often struggle with naming the codes. Are there any rules or best practices to name the codes?
there aren't. in fact, in one of these videos, I explain that the names do not matter as long as they make sense to you. When it comes to final themes, however, of course they should be understandable to your audience

I'm afraid I do not understand what exactly happened with your codes :/
