- Deterding and Waters offer a clearly-described approach for working with larger-scale interview studies and provide some background on why Grounded Theory has become a default approach to inductive analysis, even when this may not be the best approach.

- Michalovich uses thematic analysis and has a really detailed description of the use of Atlas.ti to develop themes (mostly in the appendix, which did not come with the PDF that I got via InterLibrary Loan, so you may need to go to the website to download the supplemental material).

- I co-teach a course on CAQDAS use in Social Sciences and Education, and we read this piece every year because it's such a good example of using tables to show the process of data analysis.
