Matthew B. Miles, a social psychologist, had a career-long interest
in strategies for educational reform. His work focused on planned
change in education, group and organizational studies, and the
dissemination and implementation of research findings. His first
major research project was a four-year study of six new, innovative
public schools. A. Michael Huberman’s long-term interests were in
scientific epistemology and adult cognition and knowledge use. His
work focused on education policy, school reform, and the practical
translation of research knowledge into effective school practice.
His first extensive project was a four-year study of an
experimental elementary school’s implementation of Piagetian
theories into classroom practice.. Johnny Saldaña is Professor
Emeritus from Arizona State University’s (ASU) School of Film,
Dance, and Theatre in the Herberger Institute for Design and the
Arts, where he taught from 1981 to 2014. He received his BFA in
Drama and English Education in 1976, and MFA in Drama Education in
1979 from the University of Texas at Austin.
Saldaña is the author of Longitudinal Qualitative Research:
Analyzing Change through Time (AltaMira Press, 2003); Fundamentals
of Qualitative Research (Oxford University Press, 2011);
Ethnotheatre: Research from Page to Stage (Left Coast Press, 2011);
Thinking Qualitatively: Methods of Mind (Sage Publications, 2015);
a commissioned title for Routledge’s World Library of
Educationalists Series, Writing Qualitatively: The Selected Works

Matthew B. Miles and A. Michael Huberman for Qualitative Data
Analysis: A Methods Sourcebook (4th ed., Sage Publications, 2020);
co-author with Matt Omasta for Qualitative Research: Analyzing Life
(Sage Publications, 2018); and the editor of Ethnodrama: An
Anthology of Reality Theatre (AltaMira Press, 2005). Previous
editions of The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers have been
translated into Korean, Turkish, and Chinese-Simplified.
Saldaña’s methods works have been cited and referenced in more than
16,000 research studies conducted in over 130 countries in
disciplines such as K-12 and higher education, medicine and health
care, technology and social media, business and economics,
government and social services, the fine arts, the social sciences,
human development, and communication. He has published a wide range

Theatre, Research Studies in Music Education, Cultural Studies ?
Critical Methodologies, the International Journal of Qualitative
Methods, the International Review of Qualitative Research, and
Qualitative Inquiry, and has contributed several chapters to
research methods handbooks. His most popular journal article,
“Blue-Collar Qualitative Research: A Rant” (Qualitative Inquiry,
2014), has been downloaded by over 3,000 readers, according to
ResearchGate.
Saldaña’s research in qualitative inquiry, data analysis, and
performance ethnography has received awards from the American
Alliance for Theatre & Education, the National Communication
Association-Ethnography Division, the American Educational Research
Association’s Qualitative Research Special Interest Group, New York
University’s Program in Educational Theatre, the Children’s Theatre

"This book is a wonderful, valuable and truly important
contribution to the field of qualitative research. Saldana has
updated, innovated and altogether advanced the insights and wisdom
of practice of Miles and Huberman in such a way as to amplify the
value of their work while making it even more usable and inspiring
to researchers concerned with engaging in rigorous, reflective,
systematic and reliable empirical research. This book adds great
value to the field of qualitative research and I will use it in all
of my methods courses with great enthusiasm and appreciation. Thank
you for your hard work, I am grateful!"
*Sharon Ravitch*
"I definitely plan to adopt this edition when it becomes
available. In recent years, this has been a text I encourage
student to use as a reference. The new edition will be a
required textbook for my Advanced Qualitative Research course."
*Mary Madden*
"The new material is well integrated, it still has the Miles and
Huberman content, but the presentation strategy adds new material
and "softens" the quantitative edge of the Second Edition. I
think the section on coding (Chapter 4) is an excellent
presentation and surpasses similar material in Saldaña’s previous
book. This book continues to be the best basic sourcebook
available."
*James H. Banning*
"Yes, this is a much improved 3rd edition and I know my students
will find it extremely valuable as a handbook, instructional guide,
and day-to-day resource in their qualitative analysis
activities."
*Carolyn Garcia*
"All in all, the updated Sourcebook is an impressive accomplishment
in preserving Miles and Huberman’s original vision while also
moving research approaches forward with the changing demands of the
field...Saldaña reorganized the Sourcebook with great care and
according to Miles and Huberman’s five primary purposes of data
display: to explore, describe, order, explain, and predict...With
all its helpful updates, the new and improved Sourcebook provides
an extensive overview and a range of practical applications of
possible and ‘elusive’ qualitative data analysis methods (aimed
primarily at textual data)."
*Elmar Hashimov, Ball State University*
Several of the data display strategies from the previous editions
are retained and MHS [Miles, Huberman, and Saldana] presents them
in reenvisioned and reorganized formats that will, I believe,
enhance reader accessibility and comprehension...The book provides
a display (p. 340), taken from the second edition, that illustrates
an "overview of qualitative data analysis processes." The display
is a concept map, starting with the research question and ending
with the dissemination and use of the report. The bulk of MHS
(Chapters 5–10) talks about what is in between these points. The
concept map is complex and will be valuable for readers, whatever
their level of coding experience.
