Qualitative Data Analysis
Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of four different ways to analyze qualitative data and provides advice about how to choose methods of analysis that address the purpose of the evaluation. Qualitative data analysis often involves sorting data into categories and labeling the categories. These categories are sometimes referred to as codes, nodes, or tags. The chapter talks about different ways of coding data that suit the type of analysis being undertaken. It argues that decisions about analytic techniques be considered early in an evaluation, and that these decisions will be informed by a range of practical considerations, such as audience, time and resource constraints, and the type of data available. The chapter presents a typology of purposes and outlines an example of a key analysis method for each purpose. The overview of quality criteria for assessing and strengthening data analysis builds on substantive guidance provided by the program evaluation standards.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
