Summary
This guide details the visualization tools available in MAXQDA2024, which are designed to assist users in visualizing coded data. The primary objectives of these visualizations include exploring data to identify patterns and irregularities, verifying coding accuracy, navigating data for specific queries, and presenting results to support arguments or findings. The document describes various visualization methods such as the Code Line, which presents a document as a continuous image of its codes, and the Code Matrix Browser, which allows for individual case comparisons. Additionally, it outlines the Document Comparison Diagram for contrasting coding structures across multiple documents and the Code Relations Browser for analyzing code overlaps. MAXMaps is introduced as a tool for creating concept maps to visualize relationships among various elements. The guide also addresses the requirements and limitations of visualizations, emphasizing the need for careful coding and critical examination of visual findings.
