Open coding is designed to inquire widely and explore a variety of coding categories in-depth to develop a comprehensive understanding of the data. This allows for theoretical grounding later on during the research analysis. The other coding types, such as coding by topic, descriptive coding, and analytic coding, may also be used in conjunction with open coding but are more focused and may not capture the breadth of categories as thoroughly.
