Review
Mark Winton
University of Central Florida
An excellent handbook that helps demystify the coding process with a comprehensive assessment of different coding types, examples and exercises. As such it is a valuable teaching resource and it will also be of use to anyone undertaking qualitative analysis.

The Coding Manual describes the qualitative coding process with clarity and expertise. Its wide array of strategies, from the more straightforward to the more complex, are skilfully explained and exemplified. This extremely usable manual is a must-have resource for qualitative researchers at all levels.
Tara M. Brown

"One admirable quality of Saldaña’s work is that he does not overstate the significance of qualitative data coding: he positions himself as a strong believer in its value, while acknowledging and addressing six common critiques of coding including that coding can be reductionist or even dangerous (pp. 38–40). This proleptic honesty only makes his argument for more principled and rigorous coding all the more convincing...More than anything, this text is highly practical; in addition to definitions, catalogs, and examples, Saldaña delineates in painstaking detail every step of the coding process, including discussions of what exactly can be coded, quantity of data to code, and coding mechanics...The chapters in the Manual follow a helpfully predictable format…after having studied one chapter, the reader will become accustomed to the book’s pattern of presenting key concepts and practical applications."
-- Elmar Hashimov, Ball State UniversityThe Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers, by Johnny Saldana, was not around when I learned to code qualitative data. I wish it had been...Saldana provides a skeleton on which to hang qualitative data analysis, which I have not seen in other approaches to the subject. -- Molly Engle, American Journal of Evaluation
I ended up using it mostly with Doctoral Students. Clear and detailed. -- Arianna Bove ― drupal Published On: 2014-06-27
Excellent resource for doctoral students to understand basic analysis in qualitative research -- Debra Scrandis ― drupal Published On: 2013-12-05
I have list the book in my syllabus as a recommended resource. It is too dense to be read as a text, but it is excellent as a comprehensive collection of analysis approaches for the scholar who continues to work in a variety of types of qualitative research -- Dr Alan Davis ― drupal Published On: 2013-08-09
This book gives a comprehensive review of coding, an essential part of qualitative analysis. While the book as a whole contains a level of detail that may be overwhelming for students approaching qualitative research for the first time, the first couple of chapters do provide a good introduction to the task. The examples of interview extracts and subsequent codes help to consolidate the instructions described and interesting and important references are provided for avid researchers. -- Dr Benjamin Gardner ― drupal Published On: 2013-12-02
My research students often ask me where they can \find out how to do coding". Whilst there are various texts available the processes are discussed here in different ways depending on the research methodology. This book by Johnny Saldana is a comprehensive tome providing a wide range of coding strategies. If anything it could be overwhelming to first-time qualitative researchers to see such a range, but it enables doctoral students in particular to apply a coding method more finely tuned for their particular methodology. The other difficulty some students have is generating theory from codes and categories. This book is also helpful here and includes the art of memo writing and the use of CAQDAS. I will be recommending it to my postgraduate students. -- Dr Carol Taylor ― drupal Published On: 2013-01-25
Will use as a reference text in my work with doctoral students and as a supplemental text for the qualitative research methods course I teach. -- Dr Carolyn Graff ― drupal Published On: 2015-05-03

this book is more pertinent to students considering research and critique of approaches. this has been a useful book for phd students. -- Dr Ellen Kitson-reynolds ― drupal Published On: 2012-12-02
This book demonstrates the messiness of coding and the challenges faced by researchers during the coding process.
\
It clearly defines what a code is and why codes are used as the intial stages of coding and the importance of pre-coding, continuous coding throughout the research and analysis processes. There are also good descriptions of how to code using qualitative software and tips to make this process work better for the researcher.
\
However, due to the several different methods of coding the book can get laborious and somewhat confusing and in parts difficult to decipher how different styles of coding maybe different from others. However, on seeing names or labels for the way you personally code data is very valuable.
\
Overall I think the authors have done well in explaining and demonstrating a very complex but essential aspect of the analysis processes. -- Dr Emma Rowland ― drupal Published On: 2013-02-07
This is an excellent and thorough book on qualitative coding. However, it is a little too in depth for an introductory course. -- Dr Fiona Harris ― drupal Published On: 2013-04-04
The book covers an impressive number of coding types, purposes and methods, with lots of practical examples, giving the reader a good chance to see the theoretical principles applied in practice. There are also numerous contextualised suggestions for further reading, a very helpful ′glossary of analytic recommendations′ and exercises for qualitative analytic skills development, as well as up-to-date qualitative research software examples and screen shots. The books is written in an accessible style and contains helpful terminological explanations and clarifications of frequent confusions (e.g., code vs. theme). Highly recommended for MA and PhD students in the Social Sciences. -- Dr Florentina Taylor ― drupal Published On: 2012-12-17

This book gives a comprehensive review of coding, an essential part of qualitative analysis. While the book as a whole contains a level of detail that may be overwhelming for students approaching qualitative research for the first time, the first couple of chapters do provide a good introduction to the task. The examples of interview extracts and subsequent codes help to consolidate the instructions described and interesting and important references are provided for avid researchers. -- Dr Benjamin Gardner ― drupal Published On: 2013-12-02
My research students often ask me where they can \find out how to do coding". Whilst there are various texts available the processes are discussed here in different ways depending on the research methodology. This book by Johnny Saldana is a comprehensive tome providing a wide range of coding strategies. If anything it could be overwhelming to first-time qualitative researchers to see such a range, but it enables doctoral students in particular to apply a coding method more finely tuned for their particular methodology.

this book is more pertinent to students considering research and critique of approaches. this has been a useful book for phd students. -- Dr Ellen Kitson-reynolds ― drupal Published On: 2012-12-02
This book demonstrates the messiness of coding and the challenges faced by researchers during the coding process.
\
It clearly defines what a code is and why codes are used as the intial stages of coding and the importance of pre-coding, continuous coding throughout the research and analysis processes. There are also good descriptions of how to code using qualitative software and tips to make this process work better for the researcher.
\
However, due to the several different methods of coding the book can get laborious and somewhat confusing and in parts difficult to decipher how different styles of coding maybe different from others. However, on seeing names or labels for the way you personally code data is very valuable.
\
Overall I think the authors have done well in explaining and demonstrating a very complex but essential aspect of the analysis processes. -- Dr Emma Rowland ― drupal Published On: 2013-02-07
This is an excellent and thorough book on qualitative coding. However, it is a little too in depth for an introductory course. -- Dr Fiona Harris ― drupal Published On: 2013-04-04
