Before we dive in, letβs clarify that we are discussing codebook creation within qualitative research. That means that the data you will be analysing can be interview transcripts, documents, reports, videos, social media postings, and so on.
A codebook is essentially a coding manual that provides structured guidelines for assigning categories which represent broader thematic groupings to units of analysis within a qualitative dataset. Each category or theme consists of specific codes, which serve as labels for classification.
Using a codebook is more common in research projects that analyze qualitative data, but do so from a more quantitative perspective. I'll explain what this means in a second.
In "hardcore" interpretive qualitative studies, for example when using Glaser's grounded theory approach or Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis, a codebook can also be usedβbut its purpose here is a little different.
