Synopsis

"[This] is a great self-help book for framing the research effort and guiding the reader through the research process. I can't name another book of this type on the market.
--Ted Gaiser, Boston College

  • Formatting transcripts for maximum coding efficiency in Microsoft Word
  • Using features of Word to organize the analysis of data and to facilitate efficient qualitative coding
  • Efficiently storing and analyzing qualitative data in Access or Excel to develop categories, themes, and important concepts
