The Handbook of Creative Data Analysis 

Creative research methods for data generation have expanded over recent decades and researchers are eager to take a creative approach to data analysis.
It is challenging to bring creativity into data analysis while retaining a systematic, rigorous and ethical approach. Written by experts in the field, this handbook addresses these challenges. The chapters adapt analytical techniques in creative ways for novice and expert researchers. Existing and novel methods from analysis of quantitative data to embodied, performative, visual, written, arts-based and collaborative analysis are featured with transferable case-examples across disciplines.
This collection offers a definitive practical guide to creative data analysis.
