A scoping review to identify the techniques frequently used when analysing qualitative visual data

No / Challenges were encountered when attempting to analyse video based data during
a project exploring touch screen computer technology with people living
with dementia. In order to inform the analytic process, a scoping review of published
evidence was undertaken. Results of the scope illustrated the use of various
techniques when analysing visual data, the most common of which was the
transcription of video into text and analysed using conversation analysis. Three
additional issues emerged in the course of the review. First, there is an absence
of detail when describing the ethical implications involved when utilising visual
methods in research. Second, limited priority is given to providing a clear rationale
for utilising visual methods when audio or field notes may have been a
viable alternative. Third, only 40% of reviewed articles clearly stated a chosen
methodology. The conclusions of the review illustrate a lack of consistency
across studies in the overall reporting of research methods and recommend that
authors be explicit in their reporting of methodological issues across the research
process. / The PhD is funded by the ESRC as part of the White Rose University Consortium
