Saldaña’s Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers has become an indispensable resource for my teaching, my doctoral students, and my own research. The 3rd edition, with new approaches and new examples from a broad array of researchers and disciplines, will be even more indispensable.
This third edition clarifies marvelously the process of coding qualitative data, provides wonderful examples of the over 25 coding methods, recognizes the ambiguity in the analysis of qualitative data, and reinforces the richness inherent in qualitative data.
The Coding Manual is the go-to handbook for all qualitative researchers. This latest edition offers a thorough discussion on analyzing visual data and writing analytic memos, making this the most comprehensive text on the coding process.
Saldana is the first and last word on coding for qualitative researchers and I strongly encourage all my qualitative students and colleagues to purchase it. I have recently purchased Atlas.ti software, which I will teach the PhDs how to use - so will be recommending the book even more strongly.
- Over 30 techniques are now included
- A brand new companion website with links to SAGE journal articles, sample transcripts, links to CAQDAS sites, student exercises, links to video and digital content
