Are you using content analysis techniques and applications in your research? Would you like to learn more about this widely applicable methodology and discuss your work with major scholars in the field?

Annual Meeting Workshop

The 15th annual Content Analysis PDW was held in Boston in August 2023.

Workshop Part I

An introduction to content analysis as a research methodology and outline appropriate applications, reliability, and validity concerns. Experts walked through examples of content analysis techniques from published research and an expert panel will address questions and offer publishing tips.

Workshop Part II

Experts and authors interacted in small-group roundtables to discuss the content, structure, techniques, and potential journal outlets of each manuscript. Research proposals will be selected and shared for pre-reading among group members with similar interests in advance of the Professional Development Workshop.
