Qualitative Data Analysis: A Methods Sourcebook 3rd Edition

I've been pretty happy with this book -- clearly describes their recommended approach for analyzing qualitative data. In short, they are all about TABLES. They spend chapter after chapter presenting different variations on the types of tables you can use to summarize and analyze and draw connections in your qualitative data. I'm not totally sold on the need for tables if you're coding your data in NVivo anyway, but it's interesting to read this perspective and it seems like there could certainly be occasions when tables would make sense. Plus this book is considered seminal, so it's a good one to get and read.

I purchased this textbook for my graduate dissertation program. It became a necessity and I've used the text and referenced it on multiple papers. High recommend this student friendly and resourceful text.

A very pragmatic book, very American. It teaches a technic. It doesn't dwell in epistemology of qualitative data analysis, just the how-to. If you know your basis and never ever forget this is just one way to do it, it is handy. If you think this is all you need to know for qualitative research, then you are in deep trouble.

This was a great general book for looking at qualitative data analysis methodologies. I am writing the last two chapters of my dissertation and this was very helpful.

For my Qualitative doctorate course this book is easy to understand and great to read. I am enjoying reading and collaborating with this book.

This books saved my writing and research.

Outstanding text. I am using it in my doctoral course and it is an excellent resource.

The book is too large.
