Suggested workflow for managing Qualitative research using OpenMeta and tags.
The inspiration came from ProfHacker. Here is my suggested workflow:
- Transcribe and breakdown your sources into short txt files.
- Apply OpenMeta tags via Tagit to each txt file. You can also batch-apply tags to many files simultaneously.
- Ideas for tags: concept, focus, source, rating, theme, description, importance
- You can apply tags to any filetype.
- Dive in. Group, separate, combine, delete, categorize etc. Just make sure you can track-back your sources and that you aren’t lost throughout your references.
Search for Tags through Spotlight/Finder
Easy, isn’t it?
