Thematic Analysis using Dedoose: Strategies and Best Practices

Learn how to conduct Reflexive Thematic Analysis using Dedoose features and workflows designed to support Braun and Clarke's established framework. This hands-on webinar demonstrates how Dedoose facilitates each phase of thematic analysis—from initial familiarization through theme development and refinement.

What You'll Learn

Our PhD team will guide you through the practical application to map thematic analysis onto Dedoose.

Framework and Foundation
Understanding Braun and Clarke's six-phase approach to thematic analysis and how Dedoose features align with methodologically sound practices at each stage of the analytical process.

Systematic Coding Techniques
Developing initial codes, organizing patterns across your dataset, and maintaining consistency through codebook management tools that support transparent, defensible analytical decisions.

Theme Development and Refinement
Moving from codes to meaningful themes, reviewing and refining thematic structures, and utilizing Dedoose visualization and analysis tools to identify patterns and relationships within your data.

Quality and Rigor
Implementing strategies that strengthen the credibility of your analysis and ease the documentation ofyour analytical process.

Who Should Attend

This webinar is designed for researchers conducting thematic analysis who want to leverage Dedoose effectively. Whether you're a graduate student planning your dissertation analysis, an experienced qualitative researcher new to the platform, or a research team establishing shared analytical protocols, this training demonstrates how systematic tool use supports methodological integrity.
