Qualitative Research and Mixed Methods Research Video Guides

Let Eli take you inside Dedoose through a series of narrated tours based on actual Dedoose projects — researchers facing real challenges and finding real answers—so take a few minutes and see firsthand how Dedoose can benefit you and your work including: the steps of establishing your account, importing your resources and descriptors, building and perfecting your coding system, excerpting your texts, applying the relevant codes, exploring and interpreting your work, and, last but not least, exporting your final results in a form ready for use in your article or report.

Introduction
Dr. Eli Lieber, of UCLA’s Center for Culture and Health, provides a quick overview of qualitative and mixed methods research and shows how these approaches have benefited from Dedoose.
Codes
Get started building your code system from scratch: learn to define codes and any associated weight systems, build a hierarchical code tree, and modify the code tree structure and presentation.
Descriptors
Learn about descriptor sets, defining descriptor fields (the variables), and creating descriptors (the data). See how this is done within Dedoose and through importing from Excel.
Documents
How to create documents inside of Dedoose or import files individually or in batches. Also, learn to modify document titles/descriptions, delete documents, and create links to descriptors.
Excerpting
Learn how to create and code excerpts and see how Dedoose features make it easy to identify, review, and modify excerpting and coding activities.
Analysis
Get introduced to the variety of Dedoose analysis features including the interactive and informative visualizations and how to use the tables, graphs, and plots to peer deeply into the rich qualitative data.
Filtering
Learn how to use the power of the Dedoose ‘Data Selector’ to narrow the basis of your analysis to specific sub-sets of your database.
Security Center
Understand Dedoose user-management features, how to invite users to your project, and how to configure security settings based on the needs of your project.
Training Center
Systematically build, maintain, and document inter-rater reliability across your team members via test results including Cohen’s Kappa, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and other diagnostic information.
