Nodes

Nodes are where you store data about ideas or themes that emerge as work with your project

Some researchers already have some ideas on the nodes based on their experience and literature review
Some researchers may create nodes as they discover themes in their data

Free node

It is a group of concept that is not yet organized It is useful at the initial stage of coding because you may not know exactly where it fits in the hierarchical but as you move further you will find similarities between nodes and then move them into more logical theme.
