Abstract Phenomenology as a research methodology is based on Edmund Husserl's and Martin Heidegger's philosophy of phenomenology, which addresses the subject of human experience. It is one of the commonly used methodologies in health sciences research. This second editorial in the series titled “Focus on Qualitative Data Analysis” aims to provide researchers with guidance on how to choose appropriate methods of analysis among varied phenomenological approaches. We provide an analytical choice tree that presents our perspective on the methods of analysis in phenomenology. The previous article in this series addressed case study methodology. Future articles will address qualitative description, grounded theory, and narrative inquiry.
