I am looking for a reference on how to conduct qualitative content analysis. It's preferable that it should be beginner friendly and the steps can be generalizable to other contexts (i.e. analysis for scoping reviews etc.).
Basic Content Analysis by Weber is a good place to start.
Content Analysis: An Introduction to Its Methodology by Krippendorff will take you further.
For a beginner-friendly reference on qualitative content analysis, I recommend Krippendorff's Content Analysis: An Introduction to Its Methodology. This book is comprehensive yet accessible, offering clear explanations of the foundational concepts and steps involved in qualitative content analysis. It also provides practical examples that can be generalized to various contexts, including scoping reviews. Another excellent resource is Schreier’s Qualitative Content Analysis in Practice, which focuses on step-by-step guidance for conducting content analysis, making it ideal for beginners. Both references should help you build a strong foundation and apply the method effectively across different research contexts.
