Qualitative data analysis is a method of analyzing non-numerical data, such as text, images, or audio, to identify patterns, themes, and insights. It involves a range of techniques and approaches, including coding, categorization, and interpretation of data, with the aim of generating meaningful and comprehensive findings. Tools in this category also support mixed method data analysis, which combine qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze data.
Qualitative and mixed method data analysis are commonly used in social sciences, psychology, health sciences, and other fields where researchers are interested in understanding complex phenomena and exploring the experiences and perspectives of individuals or groups. These methods can provide rich and nuanced insights that may not be captured by quantitative methods alone, and as such are also utilized in digital scholarship.
