Domain-specific¶
- Axial Coding
- . Nursing and clinical research — heavily used in grounded-theory studies of patient experience, professional practice, and care-system dynamics. Education research — classroom-interaction, teacher-belief, and curriculum-implementation studies relating coded observation and interview data. Organisational and management research — studies of leadership, change, and culture relating fragmented field data through the relational paradigm. Empirical software-engineering research — studies of developer practice, code review, and team interaction that adopt grounded-theory protocols including axial coding
This sourceStol, Ralph and Fitzgerald's systematic review of 98 software-engineering articles invoking grounded theory, which documents the field's adoption of the method and its uneven use of the Straussian open/axial/selective coding sequence.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
