It has been designed for qualitative researchers working with very rich text-based and/or multimedia information, where deep levels of analysis on small or large volumes of data are required. NVivo is a qualitative data analysis (QDA) computer software package produced by QSR International. Query tool lacks the ability to integrate searchers for text with searches for coded data.Main working code list does not have a functioning hierarchical structure.Managing the project requires care because of the external database system-changes need to be carefully saved.Visual model building and 'mind mapping' using the Network Editor.Multiple ways of working in the system (high flexibility).East Asian and Middle Eastern language support.The program provides tools that let the user locate, code, and annotate findings in primary data material, to weigh and evaluate their importance, and to visualize the often complex relations between them. The purpose of ATLAS.ti is to help researchers uncover and systematically analyze complex phenomena hidden in unstructured data (text, multimedia, geospatial). So I decided to focus on these three instead. There is a clear distinction between three major software options and the rest of the available options. There is a range of available software that has developed over the years and distinctions have been made between kinds of CAQDAS (text retrievers, code and retrieve, qualitative comparative analysis, theory building).ĭuring my ersearch I noticed a pattern emerging when people are talking about the 'best' software (whatever that means).
