Webinar: A systematic approach to analyzing coded data with MAXQDA

In this webinar, MAXQDA Professional Trainer Dr. Michael C Gizzi, explains how to analyze coded data with MAXQDA. This webinar is meant to help you think through the ways of analyzing coded data with MAXQDA. Additionally, a MAXQDA project is used to walk through the analysis steps and explore some issues that you might encounter when analyzing data.

Do you mind sharing the links to the previous webinars Dr. Gizzi refers to. Thank you very much!

I hope that this is a general question that you can answer because I've looked at the MAXQDA videos and webinars and they don't seem to address this issue. After coding your interview data, prior to categorizing into themes, does MAXQDA have a way to merge all codes that were mentioned by the same interviewee, but in slightly different ways, into one code, so that the statements are captured but the code doesn't get counted twice. So, I'd like to capture how something was said, but I don't necessarily want it to produce 2 different code instances since it's the same person that is expressing the same idea but in a different way... I am concerned that the code frequency, or amount of times a code is used, will become over-inflated, and appear as if more people are saying the same thing. In other words, instead of counting how many times it is said by one person, I'd like it to count how many times different people said the same or similar experience. However, I want to be able to capture what was said without necessarily counting it as a new instance of the same code.

Dear Michael C Gizzi,
I would like to ask that the code groups used in this video are considered as axial or as selective codes? It is unclear for me, how many tier you use in your analysis. I started in my project open coding, which produces a lot of codes, then I will group them, but I could not figure out so far, how would I run code relations browser in a three tiered coding structure. I am trying to follow the guidelines of Grounded Theory. Or in terms of visual analysis in MaxQDA, should I change to only two tiers (identified codes and groups). Thank you for your answer in advance!

Thank you for this nice piece of information! I have a problem and maybe you can help me. I am doing a literature review and want to analyse the reference lists of serveral papers, to see which author is cited most regarding Topic xy. Is there a command that automark/autocode/autosegment everything below the tag #reference, to seperate the reference list? im new to MAXQDA and couldn't figure it out myself yet. thx alot
