As the use of qualitative data analysis (QDA) software is becoming more and more immersed in qualitative research practices, thick analysis is now within reach of every researcher. Therefore, a different categorization of the numerous analysis methods is introduced, each of which is given a motto designed to pinpoint its main feature. The purpose of this exercise is to seduce researchers to think beyond existing frameworks for analysis by offering an exemplary overview and listing of possible combinations of analysis methods.</p><p>URN: <a href="http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs160163">http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs160163</a></p> ER -
