Chapter 2 Qualitative Methodological Approach

A Team-based Approach to Open Coding: Considerations for Creating Intercoder Consensus

“…While many researchers advocate for or report using teams in coding qualitative data, the mechanisms of conducting and evaluating this work often remain “implicit folklore” (Lu and Shulman 2008). In notable exceptions, scholars have described methods for calculating interrater agreement in a research dyad where one researcher will complete most coding (Campbell et al 2013), detailed consensus-building team meetings (Creswell 2013; Fonteyn et al 2008), identified common sources of disagreement between coders (Fahy 2001; Popping and Roberts 2009), and demonstrated or debated the merits of various reliability statistics, for example, the κ agreement index (Burla et al 2008; Campbell et al 2013; Haley et al 2017; Hruschka et al 2004; Krippendorff 2004; Leiva et al 2006; Lombard et al 2002; Popping 2010; Thompson et al 2004). These examples remain a rare and valuable look into the logistics of qualitative research.…”
