What is the Case–Code Network useful for?
Overview
The network places cases or documents and codes in two different node sets, with links showing coded presence or strength between them. It is useful for seeing shared and case-specific themes, selecting contrasting cases, and examining how a theme spans the corpus without implying that cases are directly connected to one another. Find it under Analysis › Relations & Maps › Case–Code Network.
What to do
- Confirm whether a node represents a participant, case, document, or code.
- Select sources and codes for your research question. All connections within that scope are shown by default; optional top limits produce a reduced view.
- Open linked evidence for both typical and distinctive case-theme connections.
When to use it
- To see which cases carry which codes.
- To find cases that link several themes.
