How to Analyze Data in Qualitative Research with AI

Analyzing qualitative data involves several steps to gain insights from interviews, open-ended responses, or other non-numerical sources. To perform effective qualitative data analysis, follow these general steps:

1. Organize and prepare the data by transcribing interviews or sorting responses into categories.
2. Read through the data to familiarize yourself and form initial impressions.
3. Perform coding by identifying recurring themes, patterns, or relationships.
4. Interpret the data, making connections and drawing conclusions from the identified patterns or themes.
