If you are doing thematic analysis, you create codes and their definitions as you are going through the data. When done with the analysis, you can export a list of codes/themes with their meanings which is considered a codebook. I hope this helps! Philip
Hello. When coding and having parent code (green) and a subcode (blue) in your case, does it matter the order that you code? In other words, does it matter if you have the a subcode before the parent code, does it matter and would this impact your analysis? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Andrew, it doesn't really matter. you can first create child codes and later explore the codes to generate parent codes. In my case, I wanted to develop child codes and put them under their respective research questions (i.e. parent code). I hope this helps!
@@drphilipadu It does! So as long as you have both the parent and sub code it doesn’t matter how it is organized. The analysis should be the same correct when running results for qualitative analysis?
Thanks for the video. in a case where by the information of all participant in a focus group are in one transcript how do i create a descriptor for this and link all the participant to this one media?, the response of all the participants are in one transcript so i only have one media for this. what do i do ?
@@drphilipadu How about if the answers are all in one excel sheet . Say like 5 rows with each row for each participant. Do I seperate and create individual excel files for each participant OR is there a way to just upload one excel file and link each descriptor to the appropriate row in the excel file?
Thank you for uploading this video. It is so useful. When my two excerpts have the same codes, in the code bar section it does not show number tow beside that code? In your video you have numbers which each codes but I cant see that in mine. Can you clarify that for me. Thanks
You're welcome!! When you go to the left of your screen, where the list of your codes are, click on the second icon in front of 'Codes' and go to 'Code Counts' and select 'Explicit Code Count'. I hope this helps!
this is great- thank you Philip!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching my video!
Extremely helpful and easy to follow......Thank you
You're welcome!!
Hello @philip, at what point/stage do you develop a codebook? is it necessary or one can do without it

@@drphilipadu yes this helps. thank you
Another question: can we edit the transcription once imported in dedoose?
Yes, when you open the document, you can click on the 'Lock' icon to edit.
@@drphilipadu thank you so much for being so helpful and responsive

@@andrewp.5099 Yes, you are right! The analysis will be the same.
@@drphilipadu Wonderful! I appreciate all of your help!!

In this case, you don’t create have to create descriptors unless you have more than one transcript with each one representing a group.
