Abstract
In this chapter, we describe the main tools of qualitative analysis, from the approach used for a representative sampling to transcription of information, coding and triangulation of the obtained data. Transcription consists of a pre-analysis of the material in which the researcher systematizes the information for further analysis, while coding consists of the treatment of qualitative data by naming passages of text and categorizing their contents. Finally, the triangulation of data seeks to confront results, with the purpose of evaluating the reliability and generalizations of interpreted information. With this, we hope to provide methodological support to ethnobiologists who choose to direct their investigations from a qualitative approach.
