Channel: The After The Interview Project Data Analysis
Date: 20/08/2021

Charles Vanover and Paul Mihas, co-editors with Johnny Saldaña of the new book from SAGE, Analyzing and Interpreting Qualitative Research: After the Interview, discuss a planning tool for qualitative analysis published in the book.  
 
This simple tool is focused on logistical and data management issues for qualitative studies.  The tool is intended to help readers and viewers conceptualize the nuts and bolts details of their analysis plans, and should be used in conjunction with other books on the practice of qualitative data analysis such as Campbell Galman’s The Good, the Bad, and the Data, Paulus and Lester’s Doing Qualitative Research In A Digital World and Saldaña’s The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers. The tool focuses on the practical details of analysis that can make or break a qualitative study.  Topics include file management and organization, IRB, and time and money.   
There is so much work to be done to design a qualitative study, plan a rich analysis, and create relevant writes up and other products. Our tool helps people conceptualize one critical part of the qualitative journey: preparing for the nuts-and-bolts details of the analysis.
