PAD: a graphical and numerical enhancement of structural coding to facilitate thematic analysis of a literature corpus
We suggest an enhancement to structural coding through the use of (a) causally bound codes, (b) basic constructs of graph theory and (c) statistics. As is the norm with structural coding, the codes are collected into categories. The categories are represented by nodes (graph theory). The causality is illustrated through links (graph theory) between the nodes and the entire set of linked nodes is collected into a single directed acyclic graph. The number of occurrences of the nodes and the links provide the input required to analyze relative frequency of occurrence, as well as opening a scope for further statistical analysis. While our raw data was a corpus of literature from a specific discipline, this enhancement is accessible to any qualitative analysis that recognizes causality in its structural codes.

A Prufer-Sequence Based Representation of Large Graphs for Structural Encoding of Logic Networks
The pervasiveness of graphs in today's real life systems is quite evident, where the system either explicitly exists as graph or can be readily modelled as one. Such graphical structure is thus a store house rich informa…
