Dr. Kriukow, what if I do have a lot of themes, how do I know what I am gonna include in my write up or final themes for my thesis. ? thank you so much in advance.
@@everythingpositivepsychology I have quite a few videos about presenting the results of thematic analysis, and also about the process of developing themes from codes, I feel that you will find your answers there, as it is not something I can answer that quickly. I recommend the series on "how codes become themes" in particular
Thank you Dr Kriukow, I've been struggling with getting started on my coding, but it all makes sense now. Your way of explanation is of such a nature that it's very easy to understand.
Thank you so much for such a detailed and clear explanation. I was feeling anxious as I began my line-by-line coding, and this made me feel much better about the whole process. Fantastic video!!
This is a beautiful and clear video to understand coding. Thank you for throwing more light especially on line by line coding. This is really helpful to me.
Thank you so much for sharing such insights :D I've been confused with so many coding methods, this help me decide how to code. Btw hope you don't mind having a panda as your new subscriber.
Not exactly about this, but if you go to the videos section on the main channel, you will find 2 videos called "how codes become themes" (Part 1 and 2) and I think you may find some of that stuff useful. Also, the video on "how to present the results of thematic analysis" is a bit about the code book, as I explain that I use it to present the results. Hope this helps
yes, you can take my other self-study course, which is about using NVivo for data analysis. It has great reviews and the students are extremely happy with how effective it is. Here is the link www.udemy.com/from-zero-to-nvivo-qualitative-data-analysis-with-nvivo/?couponCode=YTNINENINETYNINE

I have a series called "from codes to themes" - I recorded it much more recently, and I think it can be a great resource for understanding the logic behind these processes, so I strongly advise you to watch it
As I explain in the video, line by line coding does not necessarily need to cover each single line. You just decide where the boundaries of the statement that you are coding are. It does not have to literally be a horizontal line, or a sentence ending with a full stop
@@qualitativeresearcher I found it very useful. Like many others who have commented, I was really struggling with how to code. I have watched numerous tutorials, but I gleaned the most from your videos. Thank you!
@@kellievanderveur3183 if you look at the list of videos on my channel, there is a series called "how codes become themes" (I think there are 3), I think they are very helpful too, as there I tried to convey a lot about the overall logic involved in the process of coding (as well as address the titular question that I know causes a lot of stress)
Hi thank you so much. I was wondering, how do I line by line coding - when my sources (documents) have different layouts? I want to measuer number of lines a topic is covered - and I am totally confused.
Hi, I wouldn't worry about the different layouts at all. Usually, if you want to report on frequency of a given topic/code, you should code it and later report the "references" (how many times a code appeared), rather than the number of lines. I wouldn't say that counting/reporting on the number of lines is something desirable, precisely because of the layout you mentioned. It wouldn't tell the reader too much if you report these numbers of lines, because how would the reader know what font you were using, how the text was aligned, etc. - it doesn't make sense, the reader shouldn't be concerned with these details. imagine having your text in font size 70 - this way, in your report, an average sentence that may normally take up to 2 or 3 lines would be reported as, for example, 55 lines - doesn't make sense. Just report the code frequency, this is my advice
@@qualitativeresearcher Thank you so much for the answer, I thought exactly the same. Nevertheless I have the problem that I need to approach a certain code by a "lines-on-topic" approach, since counting (grouped) keywords would be less precise, due to field of study, theory and conceptualisation. I am analysing tax reports, which are similar in structure, and about 1-2 pages. Prior research has shown that a line-by-line approach is suitable for "annual reports", this is why I would like to use it for certain variables. What I did now, was aligning all tax reports in own word files, with same font size, font, etc. and importing them into NVivo. Then for some variables: I search and count keywords, but need to measure lines-on-topic / KWIC for other variables. For these I search for (grouped) keywords and then code the lines around these, any time and as long the topic of interest is covered. NVivo would then either give me TOTAL number for keywords (code frequency) OR %-ratio of text covered by topic (coded lines) to total text. Further, I double checked that the number of lines / total lines ratio, when caclulated manually in WORD, perfectly match the automatically given %-ratio Nvivo offers you for each code. Would that be a big flaw? I thought I'd finally cracked it...

Hi Your video is very helpful but what if the participant did not answer the questions correctly. how do I code it?

Dr. Kriukow, do you have any videos on creating a code book?
Not exactly about this, but if you go to the videos section on the main channel, you will find 2 videos called "how codes become themes" (Part 1 and 2) and I think you may find some of that stuff useful.

How do you link the many codes and decide which ones need to be linked to your Research Questions
I have a series called "from codes to themes" - I recorded it much more recently, and I think it can be a great resource for understanding the logic behind these processes, so I strongly advise you to watch it
How to know when one line ends and other starts? Where is the demarcation? Is it a full sentence?
As I explain in the video, line by line coding does not necessarily need to cover each single line. You just decide where the boundaries of the statement that you are coding are. It does not have to literally be a horizontal line, or a sentence ending with a full stop
When line-by-line coding an interview, should I also code the lines of questions asked by the interviewer?
no need, unless there is a reason to do it, otherwise this is not expected and not useful in any way in the process of the analysis
