Analysis and Summaries

Analysis features help you synthesize coded segments into category summaries and cross-interview comparisons.

What this section is about

After coding, you need to analyze patterns across interviews and categories. This feature generates summaries that aggregate coded segments, helping you identify themes and draw conclusions.

When you should use this

Use Analysis when you:

  • Have completed coding for multiple interviews
  • Want to summarize findings by category
  • Need to identify patterns
  • Are preparing to write your results section

How it works

  1. Navigate to Qualitative > Analysis
  2. Select your codebook
  3. Select interviews to include
  4. Generate analysis:
    Category-by-category summaries
    Cross-interview patterns
    Quote compilations by theme
  5. Export or copy results
    Use in your thesis
    Reference specific quotes
