Product Description
The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers is unique in providing, in one volume, an in-depth guide to each of the multiple approaches available for coding qualitative data. In total, 29 different approaches to coding are covered, ranging in complexity from beginner to advanced level and covering the full range of types of qualitative data from interview transcripts to field notes. For each approach profiled, Johnny Saldaña discusses the method’s origins in the professional literature, a description of the method, recommendations for practical applications, and a clearly illustrated example.

Excellent text on coding qualitative data. January 26, 2010

Mr. Saldana has written an accessible and thorough examination of a myriad of coding techniques and tools for the qualitative researcher. The text is highly focused just for that purpose. If you are looking for assistance on building a framework, about the historical or contextualization of qualitative methods and inquiry, then look elsewhere.
The coding techniques are split into a first and second cycle formats. This is a convenient way to organize the coding techniques, as Mr. Saldana has grouped them, but may not be an optimal form of organization for the advanced researcher.
In my opinion, "The coding manual" will help the advanced undergraduate or graduate student with regard to making a decision on which coding technique is best suited for a project. The example coding texts for each coding technique are not excellent, but then it would be hard to find something to appeal to every field. Nevertheless, the examples do clearly demonstrate an application of the coding method in a concise manner. Also, the examples are primarily drawn from the social sciences.

Dr. Saldana provides not only an exhaustive reviewing of coding strategies, approaches, and qualitative methodologies, he provides the reference sources to allow the the reader to explore each in greater detail. I have recommended this book to my fellow academic colleagues and they share my enthusiasm. Thanks.

Qualitative researchers of all ilk and methodologies should read this guide. My goodness, what a terrific resource! More than two dozen coding schemes are presented in several categories, illustrated with examples, and ties to specific methodologies are given. This title is the best.
Thought-provoking, yet process oriented June 5, 2010

Saldana's book is a great addition to my library for qualitative research. I especially liked the balanced perspective throughout. The process of coding could use software applications or paper; he recognized that researchers may feel comfortable with one method or the other, and that any level of automation may depend on the project. The many types of coding were incredibly comprehensive. The two levels of coding helped me understand the analysis process more fully, I am a beginner and this concept was useful immediately. The book was not a tome, it was cogent and well organized. A treasure for my dissertation efforts.

Coding was a new process for me and this book offers a systematic approach on this process. I read multiple books on qualitative coding and I found this reference to be the most helpful.
