A. Berrocal (USAL) Content Analysis 22th October 2015 2 / 54 Background Content Analysis Content Analysis Definitions Content analysis is a technique used in the social sciences for the systematic study of the contents of the communication. \A systematic, replicable technique for compressing many words of text into fewer content categories based on explicit rules of coding" [Berelson, 1952]. \Any technique for making inferences by objectively and systematically identifying specified characteristics of messages" [Holsti, 1969]. \Content analysis is a research technique for making replicable and valid inferences from data to their context" [Krippendorff, 1980].

I wish to highlight the following works from which I have obtained insights: Corten [2011] wrote a routine to visualize social networks [netplot] Miura [2012] created routines (SGL) to calculate networks centrality measures, including two Stata commands [netsis and netsummarize] White presented a suite of Stata programs for network meta-analysis which includes the network graphs of Anna Chaimani in the 2013 UK users group meeting. Cerulli and Zinilii presented a procedure [datanet] to prepare a dataset for analysis purposes in the 2014 Italian Stata Users Group meeting. Grund [2014] have created a collection of programs to plot and analyze social networks in the Nordic and Baltic Stata Users Group [nwcommands]. Modesto Escobar & J.L. A. Berrocal (USAL) Content Analysis 22th October 2015 8 / 54 Background Coincidence analysis Coincidence analysis Definition Coincidence analysis is a set of techniques whose object is to detect which people, subjects, objects, attributes or events tend to appear at the same time in different delimited spaces. These delimited spaces are called scenarios (n), and are considered as units of analysis (i). In each scenario a number of J events Xj may occur (1) or may not (0) occur. The starting point is an incidence matrix (X) an n × J matrix composed by 0 and 1, according to the incidence or not of every event Xj . Modesto Escobar & J.L. A.

Audiovisual Media Annotation Using Qualitative Data Analysis Software: A Comparative Analysis Abstract The variety of specialized tools designed to facilitate analysis of audio-visual (AV) media are useful not only to media scholars and oral historians but to other researchers as well. Both Qualitative Data Analysis Software (QDAS) packages and dedicated systems created for specific disciplines, such as linguistics, can be used for this purpose. Software proliferation challenges researchers to make informed choices about which package will be most useful for their project. This paper aims to present an information science perspective of the scholarly use of tools in qualitative research of audio-visual sources. It provides a baseline of affordances based on functionalities with the goal of making the types of research tasks that they support more explicit (e.g., transcribing, segmenting, coding, linking, and commenting on data).

  • A Tool for Researching Chronic Pelvic Pain Using Thematic Analysis
    QUALITATIVE RESEARCH: PRACTICES AND CHALLENGES USING RQDA IN QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS: A TOOL FOR RESEARCHING CHRONIC PELVIC PAIN USING THEMATIC ANALYSIS Bruna Helena Mellado1, Catarina Brandão2, 3 , Taynara Louisi Pilger1 , Francisco José Candido dos Reis1 1Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo, Brazil. [email protected] [email protected]; [email protected] 2Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Porto, Portugal. [email protected] 3 Psychology Center of the University of Porto, Portugal Abstract. Computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) provides tools that help researchers develop qualitative research projects. These software packages support users with tasks such as transcription analysis, text encoding and interpretation, writing and annotation, searching, recursive abstraction, and data mapping, enabling the use of different methods (e.g., grounded theory) and analysis techniques (e.g., content analysis or discourse analysis). The choice of CAQDAS is directly related to the researcher’s chosen methodological approach. The amount and variety of software available often makes the choice process difficult. In Brazil, the data on the use of CAQDAS is still scarce. Commercial software packages are more frequently cited. Open- source packages, like RQDA, are less popular. In this chapter, we present our experience with the use of RQDA to analyze the data from a qualitative study on chronic pelvic pain in women. Keywords: Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software, RQDA, Thematic Analysis, Pelvic Pain. 1. INTRODUCTION The field of qualitative research is characterized by different epistemological perspectives and methodological orientations, which often leads to intense academic debate (Ghedin & Franco, 2008; Merriam, 2007).

  • Investigating Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS)
    1 Proposal for Workshop for iConference 2019 Workshop Title: InVivo Inspiration: Investigating Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) Organizers: Marie L. Radford1, Vanessa Kitzie2, Diana Floegel3, Lynn Silipigni Connaway4, Jenny Bossaller5, Sean Burns6 Abstract: This half-day workshop will provide an overview and comparison of computer- assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS). Since adoption of these programs requires substantial time commitment and/or budget expenditure, it is vital to understand their capabilities and limitations, as well as the types of data best suited for each platform. A panel of experts will present advantages and disadvantages of several software packages, then demonstrate how to use popular CAQDAS platforms, including commercial (i.e., NVivo, ATLAS.ti, Qualtrics, Dedoose) and open source (i.e., RQDA) programs. Panelists will then invite attendees to participate in interactive breakout tables to learn more about and experiment with a product of their choice. Panelists will answer attendees’ questions and demonstrate advanced features. The workshop will conclude with a general Q&A session. Both novice and experienced researchers will benefit by learning about the variety of available CAQDAS options. Description: Purpose and Intended Audience Are you a novice or experienced researcher drowning in qualitative data? Are you wondering how on earth you will ever have the time to analyze reams of text, audio files, video footage, and field notes? Would you like to learn about opportunities and pitfalls involved in switching to a digital analysis tool? If so, this is the workshop for you. In an interactive and engaging workshop, experts in qualitative data analysis will introduce CAQDAS and will present important considerations for those wondering whether or not to adopt this type of software.

Looking back at this exciting, inspiring, and challenging time, I distinctly remember many ups, while the downs seem almost forgotten. To a large extent, I attribute this to the wonderful people that I got to meet along the way, who never failed to make my time as a PhD student and as an IT consultant fun. Certainly, I want to thank my mentor and PhD supervisor Prof. Dr. Alexander M¨adche, for his guidance, inspiration, and feedback throughout my studies. While I did not know what to expect when I started my position at the institute, I quickly learned how lucky I was with my choice of a supervisor. Alexander always had an open door for my questions, ideas, and concerns. He also actively seeked updates on my process and encourage me to submit my research to prestigious outlets. I am incredibly grateful for your support. On that note, I also want to thank Prof. Dr. Paola Spoletini, Prof. Dr. Hagen Lindst¨adt, and Prof. Dr.
