This video was perfect for me to figure out how to use NVivo for a thematic analysis and then explain it to my mother who's in the middle of writing her dissertation
Thank you for this informative lecture Dr Cliffe. Nonetheless, I spent 33 minutes looking for "aggregate coding" which you never arrived at in your current example, yet you did it in your original project.
Thank you Dr. Cliffe for sharing such a great video, as well as your dissertation! I have been a quantitative researcher for years, and just started learning qualitative research. Your video and dissertation are so helpful for me to grasp the key points in learning qualitative research.
You are absolutely most welcome Joy! I'm glad I could help, if you have any questions please drop me an email. It is hard learning a new philosophy of research from a quants view that's for sure. Good luck with your research!
@@AnthonyCliffePHD Thank you Dr. Cliffe! It is very hard. Thank you for offering the opportunity to ask you more questions via email. I'm sure questions will come up. Would you mind to share your email address? My email is joy.wang@ttu.edu.
@@AnthonyCliffePHD Dr. Cliffe, I found your email in your 2019 paper. So, no need to send me your email address. And I will reach out to you if more questions come up
Thank you so much for these videos, it's been very useful for my final year university research project! Really appreciate the effort you've put into explaining everything 😊
Thank you for this really useful guide to thematic analysis. I am currently finishing off the last module of my masters and really need help with coding and your guide was brilliant! Data is now all coded and I'm hoping to write it up this weekend.
@@AnthonyCliffePHD After your help I do feel like it will be easier that I expected! I wish the Universities would spend more time supporting students with this. They talk broadly about coding etc but don't ever explain and support with how to do it. You often feel left out on a limb trying to work it all out which is why your video was so amazing!
Yeah it is disappointing! One reason i started these videos after grad school was because no one taught me so after teaching myself i thought others would be looking for the same things. Glad to know it pays off and others get a lot from it 😁
I would create an excel spreadsheet with code/theme name and how many times it appear then use that data and the inbuilt chart function to make a graph/chart. However, you have to consider if it's useful or not as if doing Thematic analysis the number of times something appear isn't that relevant but could be for discourse or content analysis.
From what i understand a thematic framework is simply your code book and how you've got your codes into those themes but it's just explicitly mapped out i.e. A figure that shows for e.g code A,F and Y was grouped into group A and group A is Theme A. It's just another way to show how you've got your themes. I personally don't do this, i just show my unthemed code book and then my actual final code book in the appendices. I have a video on how to make your codebook on here :)
Hi @Anthony... Subscribed your channel just now... Your vedios on NVivo is of great help...n i really appreciate that you respond so well to all queries... Would like to connect with you for more info on NVivi
Hi Anthony, thanks for this it is really helpful for my MSc doing qual for the first time for my thesis! I can't find a video on your channel about the analysis stage, have you made one? Thank you
Hello, Thematic coding is the act of analysis in Qual, by you making your codes and selecting them into themes is the analysis. I have a video on how to write that up.
@@AnthonyCliffePHD Ahh thank you that makes more sense now! Do you always need to make a framework matrix then or can you go without? As in with the rows as cases and columns as nodes? Thanks
@@farihahchoudhury9736 you can go without but it's best practice to have that in your appendices for a thesis just to show you haven't made your findings up that they've been grounded in your data. For papers etc you don't need them!
Thank you this is extremely helpful! Wanted to ask some advice though. I am doing a comparative case study and I have 2 separate interviews (same questions for each) and I want to code them on Nvivo, would it be better to collate them all in one word document so that the software can analyse all the themes or would it make no difference?
Hi Ariane, thanks for your wonderful comment! No, it won't matter at all, as under your code when you click on it, it shows you how many sources are under that code. So let's say they both say something similar for question one, you highlight it and code it for interview 1 and same for interview 2. Then when you double click on that node for Q1, both highlighted bits of text will appear under each other and it will be very clear they're from different interviews. So just code as normal :D
Hi Anthony. I am watching your video for my MSc dissertation. Quick question - Should I add the exported codebook in the findings and discussion section or as an appendix? Thanks and best wishes
Thank you for the video! It's extremely useful. Is there a way to directly generate such a code book (with number of interviews that mentioned it and how many times) out of Nvivo or did you make that yourself with Excel or so?
Yes you can, if you've set your nodes up correctly you can export your codebook and that will have your themes with reference number of how many times it appeared. I have a video on how to export that on my channel. Hope this helps!
Mate this video LITERALLY saved my life. 3 weeks to my Masters thesis deadline and I was so lost. You are a life saver!!
Amazing! So glad i could help! If you need any help send me an email 😊

Your videos are really helpful! I also found using virtual whiteboards like 'Miro' useful when you don't have a printer
Oh that's a good point for non printers! Never considered that, thank you 😁
Thank you so much for these videos, it's been very useful for my final year university research project! Really appreciate the effort you've put into explaining everything 😊
Thank you so much for your feedback. Good luck with your research!
Thank you! I wanted to ask if you had a video on how to use this along with qualitative data (open ended questions) from Qualtrics?
Thank you for this really useful guide to thematic analysis. I am currently finishing off the last module of my masters and really need help with coding and your guide was brilliant! Data is now all coded and I'm hoping to write it up this weekend.

Fantastic to hear! Good luck with your dissertation 😁
well explained and so glad to find ur channel ,hope more to come
Thank you! Is there anything you would like me to cover in a future video?
Thank you so much, this has been so so helpful for me and my research.
No problem Liam, glad it's been useful!
Which version of NVIVO is this?
Do you have any videos or advice for putting you themes into graphs and charts?
I would create an excel spreadsheet with code/theme name and how many times it appear then use that data and the inbuilt chart function to make a graph/chart. However, you have to consider if it's useful or not as if doing Thematic analysis the number of times something appear isn't that relevant but could be for discourse or content analysis.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
You're welcome 😊
What are your thoughts about thematic framework?
From what i understand a thematic framework is simply your code book and how you've got your codes into those themes but it's just explicitly mapped out i.e. A figure that shows for e.g code A,F and Y was grouped into group A and group A is Theme A.

And to add that no, they don't need to be in one document. A separate transcription for each interview is more preferable.
