Скачать или смотреть Thematic Analysis PDF Code Annotation and Extraction

This is my semi automated (frankly quite manual) method/workflow of extracting annotations (codes) from PDF files for analysis/synthesis in thematic analysis. This method was used in qualitative studies in computer science.

The method was based of a great annotation extraction tool called pdfannots: https://github.com/0xabu/pdfannots
Application to annotate PDF files: https://okular.kde.org/

I also recommend reading D. S. Cruzes and T. Dybå “Recommended steps for thematic synthesis in software engineering,” in Proceedings of the 2011 International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement. Banff, AB, Canada: IEEE, 2011, pp. 275–284, doi: 10.1109/ESEM.2011.36.
which is a great article that explains thematic analysis/synthesis in software engineering.
