Data Analysis
Written By

This post from 2021 is still relevant, given that today’s researcher analyzes all kinds of text and media found online. SAGE author Trena Paulus joined with Alyssa Wise to write a fascinating book: Looking for Insight, Transformation, and Learning in OnlineTalk. I had a chance to discuss this book with the co-authors, and asked them to share an example of this kind of analysis. You can also view an author interview for Trena Paulus' SAGE book, Qualitative Research in a Digital World.
