Sidenote: if the #automated knowledge (e.g., a #parameter to reduce the search space) is very similar to the human input, and if the researcher holds a #positivist view on things -- they are epistemically welcome to use this additional parameter for their research/ in their pipeline.
I would argue that they shouldnt boast with having used/integrated #qualitativeData though, it is a parameter learned from (in most cases) textual data.

This was an excellent, engaging keynote. Anyone interested in #mentalhealth #research and #qualitativedata "vs" #quantitativedata should check out Femke's work. You can find it on #openscienceframework

@mediaofcoop Thank you for this report. Your concluding statement regarding AI-supported qualitative analysis is very plausible. This is exactly my impression, too:

"The LLM-led analyses tended to privilege broadly applicable and generalized narratives, often at the expense of interpretive depth, thereby creating an epistemic distance between researchers and the data."

Recs for text analysis tools, without any or only minimal genai - Taguette, QDA Miner, what else? Bulk document (around 50 papers) common word analysis is what Im mainly looking for, as well as individual document labelling. Open source, free, Windows 10.

Are you curious about the significance of #codebooks beyond their association with pirates?
In academic #research, codebooks serve as a valuable tool for organizing and interpreting #QualitativeData. If you're struggling to identify patterns in your interviews or surveys, a codebook can be your ally in making sense of the qualitative data. By creating codes to represent recurring themes and structuring them effectively, you can uncover deeper insights.
