Episode 17: Different Types of Qualitative Data Analysis Tools

In Episode 17 of the Coloring Outside the Memos podcast, Dr. Lizzy and Dr. Tiffany discuss various tools for qualitative data analysis (QDA). The episode covers both manual and software-assisted coding methods. Key highlights include:

• Manual Coding:

  • For example, physical methods, such as Johnny Saldana's "tabletop method," where researchers use tangible materials like paper strips, sticky notes, or buckets to manipulate and categorize qualitative data physically, can be used.

• Software Tools

  • Atlas.ti

  • NVivo

  • Dedoose

Open-Source Software: They also mention free tools like Taguette, though noting limitations like lack of blind coding features.
