The workflow has 3 phases. Phase 1, data preparation, moves from importing cases into N Vivo, then selecting file classification and attributes, then creating memos for each file. Phase 2, initial coding, moves from deriving codes, then open codes that are inductively generated, then checking inter-coder reliability. Phase 3, coding, moves to open codes for remaining cases, then axial codes, then selective codes for themes, concepts, and interpretation, with comparing and repetition labels.Document analysis process
