I am gradually making some adjustments to my coding style to work optimally with the web-based Dedoose program.
By the way, in comparison with my prior experiences with NVivo, Hyperresearch (the trial version), Transana, and MS Word, I have concluded that Dedoose has the edge over the others at this point in time, largely due to the very convenient project sharing capability. I am still doing first cycle coding in Word in essence to create a reduced and focused body of data that remains close to the original. For the project depicted above, the coders used descriptive and in vivo codes; these have become my default coding schemes. While doing some of the second cycle coding, I started to consider similarities between my second cycle coding process and statistical model building.
