Data reduction
Miles and Huberman describe qualitative analysis as three concurrent flows: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification.
Data reduction is the process of selecting, focusing, simplifying, abstracting and transforming the data in field notes or transcripts, through coding, summarising and writing memos.
Analytical induction tests and revises hypotheses against cases, triangulation cross-checks findings from different sources or methods, and constant comparison compares incidents to build categories in grounded theory.
Hence, the answer is Data reduction.
