About research dossiers.
A research dossier is a container that holds
all of your research data and analysis notes.
Its purpose is to help you work efficiently
and to make your research methodology
and data accessible to others.
3
How to use a research dossier.
In this project, you will be gathering and analyzing excerpts from the
communication that surrounded the crisis event you chose as it
unfolded over time.
You will not be taking a position on whether the business or
organization was to blame. Instead, your focus will be on analyzing
the nature of this communication and coding some of the data you
collect (more on coding later in this slidedoc).
4
Ii OneNote
Create your dossier in a digital workspace.
Create your research dossier in OneNote because it has
UI technical support. You can access the OneNote app
through your UI email.
The benefit of using a digital workspace like OneNote is
that it has a web clipper that will allow you to clip excerpts
from your sources and organize them in the workspace. It
also gives you applied practice in working with a tool that
is commonly used in the workplace.
5
How to use a digital workspace dossier.
1. Create notebook in OneNote.
2. Include your first and last name in the title of your notebook.
3. Download the workspace’s clipper into your browser.
4. Gather data by clipping excerpts from sources, insert into your
digital workspace.
5. You will also need to write analysis comments and generate
source citations.

Example 1: OneNote Workspace Dossier
There are many ways for you to organize your OneNote workspace. Here, the writer
has started to organize the dossier sections, pages, and subpages using the
scholarly framework.
7
Reminder: gather excerpts from these types of sources.
The business or organization’s responses to the crisis event such as news
releases, media interviews, apology videos etc.
Articles by journalists reporting on the crisis event and the business or
organizations responses in news and magazine websites -- both serious
and tabloids.
Editorial / Opinion responses to the event found in news and magazine
websites, blog posts, and fan or advocacy sites.
Depending on the nature of the crisis event, you may need excerpts from
government responses it at the national and/or state level.
Visual material about the event such as screenshots of tabloid cover
pages, cartoons, photographs of the event (as in an environmental disaster)
etc.
Reader response comments to the above
8
Reminder: how many sources?
Depending on the nature of the crisis event, you may not find all
types of these sources, but you want to choose a wide variety that
represents the communication surrounding the crisis event.
Your instructor will give you additional guidance about how much
source material you need throughout the project.
Remember to apply the chronological and scholarly frameworks
when searching for source material.

How to use the chronological framework.
Look for articles that contain
timelines to help you find
responses to the crisis event as it
unfolds over time.
Use the timelines to help you
search by date for other sources
about the crisis communication.
10
How to use the scholarly framework.
Use the model you chose for this framework
to help you organize and analyze the crisis
communication excerpts (see slidedoc 1).
In the following example, the scholarly framework
is using the three phases of crisis communication
from the Varma article. Phase 1 is denial.
When using a scholarly framework, remember
that your research data may confirm existing
research such as Varma’s or show how your data
doesn’t quite fit this model. These are things you
can write about in your white paper.
11
Phase 1: Denial First Apology Video
Citation: YouTube .bllps:/lwww.youtube.com/watch?y-tDOezlc52zO
Paula Deene"sfirst response to the crisis event was an apology video.
The video Is an example of Varma"s Phase 1: Denial.
Her demeanor was the exact opposite of the brand identity and an
example of how not to issue an apology.I

Example 2
In this example, the writer has clipped
excerpts from a source article that further
supports Deen being in Phase 1: Denial.
Again notice the title, citation, analysis
notes, and the writer has included a
complete citation.
Consider using a citation generator.
13
Grounded Theory Approach
Coding data using Grounded Theory.
When you have finished gathering source
excerpts and making analysis comments in your
dossier, you will need to use Grounded Theory to
code the reader response comments you
gathered.
Grounded Theory is a method that allows
researchers to inductively analyze and quantify
their data. The theory is “grounded” in the sense
that the theory is derived from the data in
contrast to the scientific method that poses an
hypothesis and then tests that hypothesis.
Although Grounded Theory was developed in the
social sciences, it is used across all disciplines.
14
How to code reader comments
Look for comments that are similar to one another to identify patterns.
Next, create a table in a Word document file and categorize the patterns
by labeling each with a short phrase or sentence.
Then count the number of responses per label and use this information
to graphically represent this data. You will need to insert your graphic into
the white paper.
What you discover when applying grounded theory should explain
something that is significant about the nature of the these comments.
See next slide for an example of how one writer did this.

Example
This example shows reader comments in
response to an online article about food
network star Paula Deen's crisis.
The number of patterns derived from the
comments is four, and the writer has created
a category label for each.
The comments highlighted in yellow are an
example of how these comments fit under
one label "N Word Double Standard."
The number column reveals how many
comments could be categorized under that
label.

Example continued
The most significant aspect that coding
this data revealed is how quickly Deen’s
brand became equated racism,
specifically “southern racism.”
See the next slide for how the writer
graphically represented this data in a
column chart.
Notice how the chart shows at-a-glance
the significance of the data because it
reveals which theme was the most
prominent.

  • 14. Grounded Theory Approach Coding data using Grounded Theory. When you have finished gathering source excerpts and making analysis comments in your dossier, you will need to use Grounded Theory to code the reader response comments you gathered. Grounded Theory is a method that allows researchers to inductively analyze and quantify their data. The theory is “grounded” in the sense that the theory is derived from the data in contrast to the scientific method that poses an hypothesis and then tests that hypothesis. Although Grounded Theory was developed in the social sciences, it is used across all disciplines. 14
  • 15. How to code reader comments Look for comments that are similar to one another to identify patterns. Next, create a table in a Word document file and categorize the patterns by labeling each with a short phrase or sentence. Then count the number of responses per label and use this information to graphically represent this data. You will need to insert your graphic into the white paper. What you discover when applying grounded theory should explain something that is significant about the nature of the these comments. See next slide for an example of how one writer did this. 15

Blaming Media Total 21 46 14 83 Example This example shows reader comments in response to an online article about food network star Paula Deen's crisis. The number of patterns derived from the comments is four, and the writer has created a category label for each. The comments highlighted in yellow are an example of how these comments fit under one label "N Word Double Standard." The number column reveals how many comments could be categorized under that label. 16

Blaming Media Total 21 46 14 83 Example continued The most significant aspect that coding this data revealed is how quickly Deen’s brand became equated racism, specifically “southern racism.” See the next slide for how the writer graphically represented this data in a column chart. Notice how the chart shows at-a-glance the significance of the data because it reveals which theme was the most prominent. 17
