Zentrale Argumentation / Zitate
Rather than positioning LLM-assisted coding as a replacement for manual methods, it is more productive to conceive it as complementary. Leveraging the strengths of both human and machine renders a hybrid paradigm balancing efficiency with hermeneutic depth. This approach retains the core principles of qualitative inquiry—reflexivity, subjectivity, and theory-grounded rigor—while extending the analytic scope to accommodate increasingly complex and voluminous datasets.
