A qualitative research codebook is a comprehensive, self-contained document that compiles a catalog of themes, codes, and their corresponding definitions utilized in qualitative data analysis. It provides clear definitions and illustrates how these codes are applied through real examples. This resource serves as a valuable tool for maintaining organization and promoting consistency among team members involved in coding processes.
