Methods for data reduction and display
The following suggestions are arranged in rough sequence from those which should be started early in your involvement with the analysis to ones appropriate for later, and from simple to more complex. They are described here in fairly general and flexible terms. Miles and Humberman (1994) give more prescriptive versions which are invaluable for larger projects involving several workers and a substantial amount of pre-planning, but may be over formalized for a small-scale study.
Session summary sheet. Shortly after a data collection session (e.g. an interview or observation session) has taken place and the data have been processed, a single sheet should be prepared which sumerizes what has been obtained. It is helpful if this sheet is in the form of answers to summarizing and focusing question (e.g. who was involved; what issues were covered; relevance to research question; new hypotheses suggested; implication for subsequent data collection).
Document sheet A similar sheet should be prepared for each document collected. This clarifies its context and significance, as well summarizing the content of lengthy documents. The session summary and document sheets assist in data reduction, which is, of course, viewed as part of the analysis process. Note that both session summary and document sheets can be entered as document headers in NUD*IST.
