Analyzing Qualitative Data with MAXQDA

Abstract

Kuckartz, Udo, and Stefan Rädiker’s Analyzing Qualitative Data with MAXQDA: Text, Audio, and Video provides a practical and systematic guide to analyzing qualitative research data using MAXQDA software. The book explains the processes involved in organizing, coding, categorizing, and interpreting qualitative data from different sources, including written texts, audio recordings, and video materials. It explores techniques for developing coding frameworks, identifying themes and patterns, comparing data, and presenting research findings. The authors demonstrate how qualitative data analysis software can support efficient, transparent, and rigorous research while emphasizing the importance of the researcher’s interpretation and methodological decisions. The book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals conducting qualitative studies in the social sciences, education, health sciences, and related disciplines.
