Open coding (data is broken down and labeled as codes) 2. Axial coding (relationships between codes are established to form categories) 3. Selective coding (core categories are developed) While open coding breaks down data into smaller thematic units (open codes), axial coding goes further. It helps you discover how these relatively concrete codes relate to each other and how they can be grouped. This means you’re no longer working directly with your data but rather with the open codes you’ve created. Keep in mind that other Grounded Theory books might use different terminology or slightly altered techniques. Here, when we speak about axial coding, we always refer to the approach of Strauss and Corbin (1998).
