The Second Edition of Johnny Saldana’s international bestseller provides an in-depth guide to the multiple approaches available for coding qualitative data.
Fully up-to-date, it includes new chapters, more coding techniques and an additional glossary. Clear, practical and authoritative, the book:
• Describes how coding initiates qualitative data analysis
• Demonstrates the writing of analytic memos

In total, 32 coding methods are profiled that can be applied to a range of research genres from grounded theory to phenomenology to narrative inquiry.
