Team-based grounded theory studies focus on successful collaboration & adding conceptual depth to the range of possible explanations of the phenomena being explored. Find out how in the latest post of The Grounded Theorist at thegroundedtheorist.wordpress.com?p=1204

Advanced coding can draw on external data sources such as book & journal articles, but their use differs during advanced coding than during theoretical integration. Find out how in the latest post of The Grounded Theorist at thegroundedtheorist.wordpress.com/2025/03/26/a...

An often talked about but rarely defined aspect of grounded theory studies, what is explanatory power? At The Grounded Theorist I breakdown the concepts inherent in the term explanatory power, explain what it is, & when & how it is achieved: thegroundedtheorist.wordpress.com/2025/02/26/e...

Most grounded theories are substantive grounded theories, their difference with formal grounded theories being one of scope. Find out more in the latest post of The Grounded Theorist at thegroundedtheorist.wordpress.com/2025/02/12/s...

Thank you to everyone who's supported @groundedtheory.bsky.social in the past year.

As I plan next year's blog posts, I welcome suggestions about the questions you have about grounded theory. Who knows, it may make it onto the blog in 2025!

Quality is important in assuring both that a grounded theory study is well conducted and that the outcomes are credible. Approaches differ across versions of grounded theory. Find out how in the latest post of The Grounded Theorist at thegroundedtheorist.wordpress.com/2024/12/11/m...

Transcribing data can both facilitate a deeper level of understanding of your data and a sense of overwhelm when coding. Find out the benefits and challenges of choosing whether or not to transcribe in the latest post of The Grounded Theorist at thegroundedtheorist.wordpress.com/2024/11/27/t...
