A code in research methodology is a short word or phrase describing the meaning and context of the whole sentence, phrase, or paragraph. Coding helps the researchers to refine and fine-tune the data. It helps the researcher to segregate, group, regroup and re-link in order to consolidate meaning and explanation. Coding the data helps the researchers identify themes, patterns, and categories. Important PointsStatement I: Open coding is achieved by linking codes to contacts to consequences patterns of interaction and to causes. Open coding is an essential methodological tool for qualitative data analysis that was introduced in grounded theory research. Open coding refers to the initial interpretive process by which raw research data are first systematically analyzed and categorized. Open coding is achieved by segmenting data into meaningful expressions and describing them in a single word to a short sequence of words. Further, relevant annotations and concepts are then attached to these expressions. ?Hence statement I is incorrect. Statement II: Axial coding is the process of breaking down, examining, comparing, conceptualizing, and categorizing data. Axial coding is a qualitative research technique that involves relating data together in order to reveal codes, categories, and subcategories grounded within participants' voices within one's collected data. In other words, axial coding is one way to construct linkages between data. Hence statement II is incorrect. Thus we can conclude that both statements I and II are incorrect.
