Dr. Adu, you are doing the work of many universities who cannot be bothered to support graduate students! Thank you for helping me in my journey getting a Master's in Education!
This is exactly the video I was searching for to help me with my master's dissertation, thank you so much. So simple, understandable and to the point !
Thank you so much for your very thorough and clear explanations on how to use NVIVO. Been having a difficult time navigating this app, and your tutorial really helped a lot.
Thank you for all the videos under NVivo, I am using them as a manual together with your books to get through my phenomenology research. I will definitely book consultation again ( the first one I booked was distracted by the poor internet outage). Thank you always!!!!
Dr. Adu- I could not have figured this out on my own. You made it so simple. My only question: if we created an "outside" code as you called it in one of your videos, where does it go? Do we just mention it in our write up? Thank you again! With much appreciation from a doctoral candidate!
You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful to you. Can provide more clarification about the questions? Are you referring to grouping codes into categories?
@@drphilipadu - I was referring to the write up. If we have a finding that was important but not part of the research question, is it mentioned just in the write up or is it included as part of overall analysis with the themes that do align with the RQs.
Thank you so much, Dr. Adu. It's really helpful. I would like to inquire about whether the researcher should code all interviews at the same time or can they divide these interviews individually?
You're welcome!! We don't have the best strategy but what I do is to code all transcripts moving from one transcript (to code it) and to another transcript.
Thank you Dr Adu, this information has been very helpful for my Masters dissertation. I was wondering if you are able to give me a Harvard-style reference for your videos so that I can cite them in my dissertation? Many thanks.
You're welcome! For this video. here is the citation: Adu, P. 2023, NVivo for Beginners: How to Categorize Codes to develop Themes, TH-cam video, Center for Research Methods Consulting, 23 July, viewed 23 July 2024, th-cam.com/video/mrioduYXWE4/w-d-xo.html I use Perplexity ai to create the citation (see: www.perplexity.ai/search/how-do-you-cite-the-following-5h0C3TRpR12goY0bGMj5nQ)
Thank you Dr Adu, the video was helpful. My question goes: If l have 20 participants will l create code from all the 20 participants; how do l deal with many research questions, and demographic information?
If you plan not to explore the connection between demographics and themes, you don’t have to bring democratic into Nvivo. About the research questions, you could consider reducing to two or three if possible. Also, make sure you are not addressing interview questions but research questions.
Dr. Adu, thank you for your work! I've got a question: let's say I've got 15-20 interviews done for thematic analysis. How many initial codes is an 'okay' number for such amount? I'm just thinking of whether I'm trying to code too many things and, thus, become overwhelmed with the data :)
You're welcome!! It's difficult to tell but to prevent generating a lot of code, I suggest you follow this best practice: Only generate a code if an excerpt extracted from the data doesn't have any connection to existing codes. I hope this helps!
Thank you so much Dr. Adu for the valuable content. I have just one question. How can I label the sub-codes based of the files they were derived from? And is there a way to export such details?
You're welcome! You could add the file name when creating the subcodes. However, you don't have to do that since you will know the source of the statements you have connected to the subcodes when you double-click on them. Concerning exporting details, I would use 'Framework matrix' function (see: th-cam.com/video/YefISJUAFks/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EFFxJVMvuxluE4i9&t=754)
Hello Dr. Adu from New Zealand! Loving your video series, I am just beginning my PhD and using your efforts to support me! In your book, you refer to slides, “Grounded Theory from start to finish” but the link doesn't work!
Thank you for watching my videos and buying my book! I really appreciate it. I'm sorry the link is not working. Here is the link to download the slides: drive.google.com/file/d/1yMwBfuPRnkNltwFQTfXSpd6CIFhe4xyS/view?usp=sharing
Sir, do we need to generate codes and themes based on the interview question or the research question. For example research question is to study the experience and perspective of a patient about a treatment while the interview had various question on challenges, satisfaction, suggestion. so while coding do i need to generate based on research question or do i need to consider the interview question.
We normally analyze data to address the research questions not the interview questions. If you plan to code the data based one the three areas you have mentioned then you need a research question for each of the areas. For example the research question for challenges could be, "What are the challenges patients faced during treatment?"
Hello Dr. Adu, thank you for this helpful video. If you have an excel spreadsheet where all the details of the survey are there, is there a way that you can individually assign one row as one file. There are times that I have created 2 codes from 1 respondent but I want to reflect it as only one respondent. How can that be possible? Thank you in advance
You're welcome! You could use Project Map to determine respondents connected to a code or theme (see: th-cam.com/video/YefISJUAFks/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Rw9mBngpVF5IIeJE&t=76)
Thank you, Professor for this! I hqve a question, can I add the same codes to different themes of a reseach question. In that case, once I drop the code to theme1,it is gone right. Then how can use the same code for theme2? Thank you
NVivo doesn't allow us to drop one code into more than one themes. However, you can duplicate the code by right-clicking on it to copy and paste it under the other theme.
You're welcome @sarabdeir2400!! Having 4-6 themes for each research question would be great!! You can explore each themes to see whether you can combine some of them.
You're welcome! Yes, it is similar to conducting axial coding. After sorting codes based on shared commonalities, you develop themes. You then explore the connection between the themes and compare the proposed connection to the new sets of data. This constant comparison process could lead to the development of a theory.
@@amandabastaman5501 In this case, you don't have to create a container for a research question. However, I would ask myself, 'what do I need from the data?' You can then create a container (similar to creating a container for your research question) reflecting what you want from the data. For example, let's say, you want to develop a theory to understand how people cope mental health, then you can create a container called 'Coping mental health condition'. Creating a container like this would help in reminding you what you are looking for in the data. It also helps in develop relevant codes and putting them under this container. I hope this helps!
Thanks for explaining well. Please guide, if I have mistakenly droped the reference text in a node, later I realized my mistake. Now how can I extract it out of that node and put it in the right node? I am working with Nvivo 10.
You're welcome! You first open the node (container) and locate the reference text. Select the text and drop it into the right node. You then select the text again and right-click on it and select 'uncode' and check the node you plan to remove the text from. You then click on ok. I hope this works!
I cannot drop reference text directly into the desired node because there are a number of nodes and I need to scroll up and down to find the desired node. If I go to scroll up and down then it ultimately deselects the the selected text. So what will be the solution in this case?
@@nabilatabassum1995 Alternatively, you select the text and right-click and go to 'Node Selection' and you look for the Node you want to connect the text to.
Thank you Dr. Philip. I have a question. When I create the theme in NVivo and drag the codes in to the new code called theme, the counting in of files and reference are still 0. Why is that? Thank you for your answer. BTW, I did it on Mac with NVivo 12.
You need to press on 'Control' and click on the theme and select 'Get Info'. You then check 'Aggregate Code from the Child Code'. Let's see whether this works.
Normally, grounded theory requires abductive (which is both inductive and deductive). First, you start with inductive by using open coding to help develop codes and axial/focused coding to help generated themes based on the data. Second, using theoretical coding and constant comparative method, you compared the proposed theory to new sets of data leading to the refinement of the theory. I provide methodology consultation, if you are interested, you can email me: info@drphilipadu.com
hello, am starting my thesis about Entrepreneurship in fashion industry: Gucci as a case study. it is a qualitative research based just on papers and books about the history of the brand and all. I am so confused as to how do I gather my data that I will later code? do I take quoted from papers I will read that answer my research questions or how? since I have no interview or questionnaire, just texts?
First, I suggest you develop a data collection protocol which contains the kinds of documents you plan to collect and the sources of the document. It should also contain the conditions each document should meet to be selected for the analysis. You could also indicate the number of documents you plan to review. After gathering the data, you start the coding process. Here is where you extract relevant information from the documents and develop codes representing the excerpts and also addressing the research question (see: th-cam.com/video/NwY_XXrpdl4/w-d-xo.html).
This was brilliant and very insightful, sir. As you suggested, I contacted you via email, but I am still waiting to receive a reply. I tried several times to upload my demographic data to Nvivo on a spreadsheet. It kept showing me error messages. What can I do sir?
Thank you! I'm so sorry I didn't get your email. Can you email me again? Before uploading, make sure you close the excel (demographic data). I hope this helps!
what specific app to install for this? we have our undergrad qualitative research and our instructor suggestef to use the nvivo app because it generates the code themes
Dr. Adu, I'm told that I need to create categories from the codes and then create themes from the categories. It seems as though you skip that step and take the codes straight to themes. Please help...
You could first create categories if you have a lot of codes. You could do that by exploring the relationships between the codes and grouping them into 8 to 10 categories. You then explore the categories to help generate themes.
Thank you for this tutorial! A question: when the same themes emerge from across a number of different nodes, is there a way to bring these together in NVIVO 12 into a 'master theme' to show the number of files and references coded across the research questions? I tried doing this by creating Search Folders and Sets. With a Set, I can see all of the references are brought together in one place, but when I try to 'Create as code', the resulting node only brings in two references (seemingly at random. With a Search Folder, again I can see all the references brought together, but when I try to 'Create as code' the resulting node has zero references. I am ticking 'aggregate coding from children' when I do this. Any ideas please?! Many thanks for your help.
You're welcome! The simplest way is to create a copy of the project by clicking on the 'File' tab and select 'Copy Project'. Working on the copied project, you create a 'Master theme' and drag and drop the nodes into it.
Normally, when they are deleted, you can't undo it. However, if you didn't indicate 'Auto Save' and you manually save the project, you can close and reopen the project. Let's see if this works.
Also please tell about open ended questions for the demographic information we choose attributes at 3:15min but for the open ended questions which options we have to choose

You're welcome! The simplest way is to create a copy of the project by clicking on the 'File' tab and select 'Copy Project'. Working on the copied project, you create a 'Master theme' and drag and drop the nodes into it.
Great, thank you for the quick reply@@drphilipadu
Thank you!!
You’re welcome!!
Hi, how can I undo codes if deleted mistakenly in NVivo 14 for windows?
Normally, when they are deleted, you can't undo it. However, if you didn't indicate 'Auto Save' and you manually save the project, you can close and reopen the project. Let's see if this works.
When i export file to categories codes it is only showing research questions in excel sheet not all codes what to do now?

My 'Name' column is bunched up....how did you get it to expand @11:56. I couldn't catch it
You can hover your cursor around the border between the "Name" and 'File' column. When the cursor shows a '+' sign, press and drag it to the right. I hope this helps!
@@drphilipadu I will try this. I was looking for handles to pull but came up empty. Thanks so much
How did you bring the theme back from word to Nvivo? Did you import again?
You manually create the themes in NVivo and drag and drop the codes into them.
