Description
Texts such as annual reports, press articles and interview transcripts as well as other sources of rich data, such as audio transcripts or visual records, provide young researchers with valuable and helpful resources for the collection of data for their research projects. By analyzing documents, audios and video, important data can be collected, which cannot be found in a classic archives database.The goal of this methodology course is to give interested, young scientists an understanding of the essential elements of quantitative and qualitative content analysis. The course starts with an introduction of the methodology and some research questions of the content analysis. Throughout the course, the differences between the quantitative and qualitative content analysis will be outlined.
Furthermore, quality features, the typical "obstacles" in the planning phase of the research project as well as the collection and analysis of the data are discussed. In addition, the correct way of "writing down" the methodology - especially from the reviewer and the editor perspective - is addressed. In order to learn about these contents, the participants will analyze published "best practices" and apply
the findings to their own research projects.
Overall, the participants should acquire a basic knowledge of the methodology, in order to independently carry out a qualitative and quantitative content analysis, which meets the international scientific standards.
