A Hybrid Approach to Thematic Analysis in Qualitative Research: Using a Practical Example (2018, background): “There has been a good deal of literature on the subject of thematic analysis over the past two decades (e.g. see Boyatzis, 1998; Braun & Clarke, 2006, 2013; Clarke & Braun, 2013; Fereday & Muir-Cochrane, 2006; Guest et al., 2012; Joffe, 2011), and the focus of Jennifer Fereday and Eimear Muir-Cochra”
The diversity of participatory design research practice at PDC 2002-2012 (2015, methodology): “In this way, we conducted a thematic analysis (Flick, 2009; Guest et al., 2011) guided by the initial research question, remaining open to emergent connections and other themes.”

Perks, problems, and the people who play: A qualitative exploration of dominant and submissive BDSM roles (2015, methodology): “This was a recursive process in which the initial codebook categories or themes were identified and defined early on to guide subsequent coding, but were constantly revised as each transcript was coded and new connections were discovered between codes (Guest et al., 2012).”
Applying Thematic Analysis to Education: A Hybrid Approach to Interpreting Data in Practitioner Research (2020, methodology): “There are different approaches to TA (Boyatzis, 1998; Guest et al., 2011).”
Stressors in early-stage doctoral students* (2018, background): “…a broad understanding of doctoral student experience while taking into consideration the subtleties of highly individualised tree-text responses (Guest, MacQueen, and Namey 2012), with themes emerging from the data to allow insight into the experience of what stressors negatively affect…”
