Bless and Higson-smith (2000:137) argue that the process of data analysis takes different forms depending on the nature of the data.

5.1 Distribution of documents by year of publication from 1990 to 2005
LISTA recorded a total of 14 publications. Of these, 11 (79%) were published by Kenyan authors and 3 (21%) by South African authors. Fig.1 below illustrates the distribution of documents by year of publication from 1990 to 2005. The chart indicates that the number of publications in LISTA (Kenya) was stable for 3 years from 1990 to 1992, 1 (7.1%), dropped to 0% in 1993, and rose again in 1994 to 1 (7.1%). It remained at this point until 1995, and then rose again in 1996 to 2 (14.5%), where it remained in 1997. It dropped again dramatically in 1998 to 0 (0%), where it remained until 2002, then rose once again to 1 (7.1%) in 2003, dropped to 0 (0%) in 2004. In LISTA (South Africa), there were no publications in 1990, but in 1991 there was 1 (7.1%) and thereafter 0 (0%) publications from 1992 to 2001. In 2002 and 2004 there was 1 (7.1) recorded publication, but none in the following year (See fig. 1).
