How do you conduct coding in qualitative research?

Coding in qualitative research involves the analysis and organization of data collected through interviews, observations, focus groups, or other forms of qualitative data collection. The process of coding involves examining the data, identifying recurring themes and patterns, and assigning labels or categories to segments of the data to reflect these themes. This process is iterative, with codes being refined and adjusted as further analysis is conducted. Software programs such as NVivo or MAXQDA can aid in the coding process, but manual coding is also common. Clear and consistent coding practices are essential to ensure the quality and rigor of qualitative research.
