Code

C
 

A code is a label or descriptive tag assigned to a specific quote that is collected through qualitative methods such as interviews or focus groups. These labels typically consist of a single word or a brief phrase that encapsulates the essence of the quoted content. Codes play a crucial role in organizing and categorizing data, facilitating the process of identifying themes and, ultimately, interpreting the entire dataset.
