Qualitative Secondary

Qualitative secondary analysis (QSA) involving assessment of information collected by previous researchers offers an opportunity to maximise data utility. Secondary data including research articles, policy documents, news articles, etc. allows reanalysis of data to obtain an answer for the original question but by using different statistical techniques. However, qualitative secondary analysis approach requires explicit description to conceptualise the outcomes of the process.

How to pave the way for effective qualitative secondary analysis?
