Very helpful video, thank you. When you're moving between the phases (e.g. between phase 2 and 3) do you copy the codes to the next folder and then review/edit them?
Yes, that's it exactly. I did not make that clear enough in the video, but you're exactly right. Doing it this way will preserve your history of thought progression through the 6 stages and will thereby track thought progression and facilitate the production of a clear audit trail for your methodology chapter upon which the trustworthiness and plausibility of findings are so often dependent when your work is being reviewed.
I have included several links below. The seminal paper on TA is Braun & Clarke, 2006. B&C also produced a paper in 2020 which addresses some common misrepresentations amongst reviewers and people who cite the original paper.

You can create codes in any coding folder and drag text or media clips into them. There are 4 videos on this page that explain the fundamentals of coding. They were recorded in version 12 but the steps and concepts are the same in newer versions: qdatraining.com/coding-in-nvivo/ Forgive me if I have misunderstood the question
Thank you for the Novel video. I am following the steps in Nvivp for my PhD. in 13:33 minutes you moved to Memos for the phases but that was under the title of literature. How was this linked to your interviews and Phases in Codes. I mean how can you track between them??
A memo may be stand-alone or linked to an item. You can also organise a folder structure for your memo. In the example the memo was about familiarisation, so it was in the memos folder for Phase 1 named 'Phase 1 initial thoughts on codes'. It is not in the literature folder which also has memos but which serve a different purpose. The memo was not linked to any one interview file because it addresses several interviews, so it is a stand-alone memo.

Hi Ben, thanks for the video. Can give you insight to the way you wrote your methodology and how it fits into the use of INVIVO to carry out the study?
See an example from the data analysis section of a methodology chapter describing the practical application of RTA in a real study. While there is a table showing corresponding processes between the six stages of RTA and what was done in NVivo, the software is the least important aspect because it is just an organisational tool and does not conduct analysis nor write reports. You do not need to justify the use of a tool to organise your data, any more than you would make a case for writing your report in MS Word rather than handwriting it: qdacloud.myqnapcloud.com/share.cgi/Analytical%20strategy%20for%20this%20study%20-%20Thematic%20Analysis%202020.pdf?ssid=dcbced0bf7f341c586f9935ffc5aee44&fid=dcbced0bf7f341c586f9935ffc5aee44&open=normal&ep= I hope this example is helpful

I worked on NVivo 14 using the phases in phase 2 coding (in organize under codes) i kept all codes related to trascripts (files).. after 3 weeks of work yesterday I opened NVivo and found the trascripts with code numberd and references numbers but I can not find codes in organize. What to do?
Yes, you can conduct thematic analysis on secondary data using NVivo as the organisational tool. I hope this response is helpful, but do let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Ben, as always, high-quality material from you, so thank you for that. I have a clarifying question about copying the codes from phase to phase. If I copy the codes from phase 2 to phase 3, to further work on them. Then when I view the coding stripes for the transcript belonging to the video file I'm coding, I have multiple coding stripes since they are now both a part of phases 2 and 3? How do you go about that when doing your TA? I find it a bit confusing and would like to hear your thoughts on the process when copying codes from one phase to another.
Hi Freddy, you can chose to turn on coding stripes for 'Selected Items' and browse and select just one folder to see only codes for that phase of the process. help-nv.qsrinternational.com/20/win/Content/coding/coding-stripes.htm?Highlight=coding%20stripes#Showcodingstripes I hope this response is helpful, but do let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

@ben meehan I need to do reflexive thematic analysis on 5 books separately and then, once that is completed, do it collectively across all the 5 books. Following the approach in the this video, I was thinking of creating the coding folders by phase, and then under each phase have a folder for each book and one for all books. This is my first time I'm using NVivo and I'm using a Mac. I'm trying to work out how best to do the initial coding on the files so that I know what files have what codes and then can copy that into the later phases. Particularly as some codes will be shared across files and some files will have unique codes. Is it possible to have the codes in the 'Codes' folder and then identify and copy only the codes relating to a particular file folder? Hope this makes sense. Otherwise, is it best for me to code each book in it's own project and then merge the 5 books into a project to do the combined book analysis? Thanks so much in advance! Felicity
Yes, you could make a subfolder under any phase and copy all your codes into it; then in one click, uncode all books bar the one you want to see unique coding for from the codes in the sub-folder. Your subfolder will now only contain coding from that book and some codes will be empty if the book in question was not coded there. You could either delete these empty codes in the subfolder or just note them because the absence of coding can sometimes be as illuminating as its presence. I hope this is helpful but do let me know if you need clarity on any of this.
@@qdatraining Thanks so much for this and yay! When I go to do this I can't select any of the uncode options - they are all greyed out when I have the codes selected. Some of the codes have been aggregated into parents and some not. Do you know why this is?
@@strongintosuperb You need to select the files not the codes (the books you wish to remove from the copied subfolder) and then the 'Uncode' option will be available. Select this option from the menu and a dialogue box opens; browse to the subfolder and select it. You will be left with the one book represented in the codes. I hope this is helpful but do let me know if you need clarity on any of this.
@@qdatraining thank you so much, again, for your quick response. It does indeed work! Taking the approach I am, do you have any advice on how best to find out what has been coded to the same code name across all the files. My thinking is that by knowing this I can then identify themes across all the books, as well as doing them individually.
@@strongintosuperb Yes, create a matrix with the themes in the row and each book in the columns. Reading each book column down will give you an in-case view of which themes impacted that particular book and to what extent; while reading across shows a cross-case view of which other books are also represented in a given theme. qdatraining.com/using-a-matrix-in-nvivo/ I hope this response is helpful, but do let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

The workshop is too quick and everything is already done, rather than how can it be done it is what can be done! Its good but its not a new user would like to see and invest 1 hour in! I was literally looking into doing the analysis side by side with you! I am sorry I am totally lost since the beginning.
Dear Hassan, I think the problem lies in your underlying assumption that this video is supposed to be a workshop. It isn't. Most training workshops are delivered over two days, and the Asynchronous online courses are delivered over four weeks. You cannot pack all of that into a one-hour video, and that was never the intention. The intention was to give you a quick overview of how you might apply a Reflexive Thematic Analysis in NVivo. I respectively suggest you invest some time and energy in some real training, as this is likely the reason you are lost. I hope this response is helpful, but do let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Kind regards, Ben

Coding in reflexive thematic analysis ought to be organic and open. You DO NOT need a pre-prapared list of codes with which to drag text into. This is a major difference between a reflexive approach to TA and other approaches such as 'Codebook' and 'coding reliability '.
Thank you for your contribution. However, I don't understand why you would make the assumption that the phase 2 - Systematic Data Codes were pre-prepared? Where in the video is this suggested? This study was a real environmental study conducted by Duke University in the US. The phase 2 codes WERE NOT prepared but developed organically and inductively from the interviews from the bottom up; a process that took several weeks. The entire point of the video was to show researchers how they might apply the 6 stages of IPA in a tool such as NVivo. It does not deviate in any way from the philosophical underpinnings of RTA.
I found this as I was struggling with RTA on NVivo and it is incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for the very kind words.
Thank you, glad I found this! I was way over-thinking this and you've helped me to understand the jargon. :)
Very helpful video, thank you. When you're moving between the phases (e.g. between phase 2 and 3) do you copy the codes to the next folder and then review/edit them?

Hi Ben, thanks for the video. Can give you insight to the way you wrote your methodology and how it fits into the use of INVIVO to carry out the study?
See an example from the data analysis section of a methodology chapter describing the practical application of RTA in a real study. While there is a table showing corresponding processes between the six stages of RTA and what was done in NVivo, the software is the least important aspect because it is just an organisational tool and does not conduct analysis nor write reports. You do not need to justify the use of a tool to organise your data, any more than you would make a case for writing your report in MS Word rather than handwriting it: qdacloud.myqnapcloud.com/share.cgi/Analytical%20strategy%20for%20this%20study%20-%20Thematic%20Analysis%202020.pdf?ssid=dcbced0bf7f341c586f9935ffc5aee44&fid=dcbced0bf7f341c586f9935ffc5aee44&open=normal&ep= I hope this example is helpful

hi , I want to ask can we do NVIVO thematic analysis with both primary and secondary data?
Yes, you can conduct thematic analysis on secondary data using NVivo as the organisational tool. I hope this response is helpful, but do let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Ben, as always, high-quality material from you, so thank you for that. I have a clarifying question about copying the codes from phase to phase. If I copy the codes from phase 2 to phase 3, to further work on them. Then when I view the coding stripes for the transcript belonging to the video file I'm coding, I have multiple coding stripes since they are now both a part of phases 2 and 3? How do you go about that when doing your TA? I find it a bit confusing and would like to hear your thoughts on the process when copying codes from one phase to another.
Hi Freddy, you can chose to turn on coding stripes for 'Selected Items' and browse and select just one folder to see only codes for that phase of the process. help-nv.qsrinternational.com/20/win/Content/coding/coding-stripes.htm?Highlight=coding%20stripes#Showcodingstripes I hope this response is helpful, but do let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Link to resources below: B&C also produced a paper in 2020 which addresses some common misrepresentations amongst reviewers and people who cite the original paper. I've included that as well because they have renamed the six stages of the processes slightly and broadened their guidelines to include the term "Reflexive Thematic Analysis" which is their brand of thematic analysis.Phase 1 - FamiliarisationPhase 2 - Generating Initial CodesPhase 3 - Searching for ThemesPhase 4 - Reviewing ThemesPhase 5 - Defining and Naming ThemesPhase 6 - Creating the ReportPhase 1 - Data familiarisation and writing familiarisation notes.Phase 2 - Systematic data coding.

@ben meehan I need to do reflexive thematic analysis on 5 books separately and then, once that is completed, do it collectively across all the 5 books. Following the approach in the this video, I was thinking of creating the coding folders by phase, and then under each phase have a folder for each book and one for all books. This is my first time I'm using NVivo and I'm using a Mac. I'm trying to work out how best to do the initial coding on the files so that I know what files have what codes and then can copy that into the later phases. Particularly as some codes will be shared across files and some files will have unique codes. Is it possible to have the codes in the 'Codes' folder and then identify and copy only the codes relating to a particular file folder? Hope this makes sense. Otherwise, is it best for me to code each book in it's own project and then merge the 5 books into a project to do the combined book analysis? Thanks so much in advance! Felicity
Yes, you could make a subfolder under any phase and copy all your codes into it; then in one click, uncode all books bar the one you want to see unique coding for from the codes in the sub-folder. Your subfolder will now only contain coding from that book and some codes will be empty if the book in question was not coded there. You could either delete these empty codes in the subfolder or just note them because the absence of coding can sometimes be as illuminating as its presence. I hope this is helpful but do let me know if you need clarity on any of this.
@@qdatraining Thanks so much for this and yay! When I go to do this I can't select any of the uncode options - they are all greyed out when I have the codes selected. Some of the codes have been aggregated into parents and some not. Do you know why this is?
@@strongintosuperb You need to select the files not the codes (the books you wish to remove from the copied subfolder) and then the 'Uncode' option will be available. Select this option from the menu and a dialogue box opens; browse to the subfolder and select it. You will be left with the one book represented in the codes. I hope this is helpful but do let me know if you need clarity on any of this.
@@qdatraining thank you so much, again, for your quick response. It does indeed work! Taking the approach I am, do you have any advice on how best to find out what has been coded to the same code name across all the files. My thinking is that by knowing this I can then identify themes across all the books, as well as doing them individually.
@@strongintosuperb Yes, create a matrix with the themes in the row and each book in the columns. Reading each book column down will give you an in-case view of which themes impacted that particular book and to what extent; while reading across shows a cross-case view of which other books are also represented in a given theme. qdatraining.com/using-a-matrix-in-nvivo/ I hope this response is helpful, but do let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

You are amazing, Ben.
Please could you take me on a tutorial?
I need your contact and support, sir.
The workshop is too quick and everything is already done, rather than how can it be done it is what can be done! Its good but its not a new user would like to see and invest 1 hour in! I was literally looking into doing the analysis side by side with you! I am sorry I am totally lost since the beginning.
Dear Hassan, I think the problem lies in your underlying assumption that this video is supposed to be a workshop. It isn't. Most training workshops are delivered over two days, and the Asynchronous online courses are delivered over four weeks. You cannot pack all of that into a one-hour video, and that was never the intention. The intention was to give you a quick overview of how you might apply a Reflexive Thematic Analysis in NVivo. I respectively suggest you invest some time and energy in some real training, as this is likely the reason you are lost. I hope this response is helpful, but do let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Kind regards, Ben

Coding in reflexive thematic analysis ought to be organic and open. You DO NOT need a pre-prapared list of codes with which to drag text into. This is a major difference between a reflexive approach to TA and other approaches such as 'Codebook' and 'coding reliability '.
Thank you for your contribution. However, I don't understand why you would make the assumption that the phase 2 - Systematic Data Codes were pre-prepared? Where in the video is this suggested? This study was a real environmental study conducted by Duke University in the US. The phase 2 codes WERE NOT prepared but developed organically and inductively from the interviews from the bottom up; a process that took several weeks. The entire point of the video was to show researchers how they might apply the 6 stages of IPA in a tool such as NVivo. It does not deviate in any way from the philosophical underpinnings of RTA.
