How do I compile all the segments coded with the same category? How do I keep track of all the codes I have assigned? MAXQDA not only indicates within the texts, images, and videos themselves which codes have been assigned to them and where but can also compile a list of all the places that have been assigned with the same code. In contrast to earlier manual techniques, the surrounding context of each coded area is also immediately visible when working with the software. Moreover, codes are allowed to develop throughout the analysis process, and they can be changed, differentiated, or integrated into more abstract codes. MAXQDA lets you retrieve coded segments according to different criteria (e.g., those that overlap, those in close proximity to one other, etc.) and display or export them in several ways. The Smart Publisher is a tool that creates thematically structured reports in a finished layout. In conjunction with coding, many researchers also work with memos in which they write down notable observations, hypotheses, thoughts, code descriptions, and much more. But how do you keep track of dozens of memos and their valuable content?
