The Second Edition of Johnny Saldaña’s The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers offers an in-depth guide to coding qualitative data. Fully updated, it includes new chapters, additional coding techniques, and a supplementary glossary. The book describes how coding initiates qualitative data analysis, demonstrates the writing of analytic memos, discusses available analytic software, and suggests how best to use the book for specific studies. Saldaña profiles 32 coding methods applicable to various research genres, from grounded theory to phenomenology to narrative inquiry. For each approach, he details the method’s origins, provides a description, offers practical applications, and includes a clearly illustrated example with analytic follow-up. An invaluable reference for students, teachers, and practitioners of qualitative inquiry, this book is essential reading across the social sciences.
