nvivo qualitative data analysis software

As there are some differences in screen and interface design between the Mac and Windows versions please watch the video 'The NVivo Mac Interface' in the Component Orientation series of videos (available on the companion website). The book and accompanying videos illustrate the Windows version of NVivo. The book is accompanied by three sets of video demonstrations on the companion website. The third part contains real-world qualitative research projects from a variety of disciplines, methodologies, and kinds of qualitative analysis, all illustrated in NVivo using the Five-Level QDA method. These steps are illustrated with examples from a variety of research projects. The second part provides both an in-depth description of how NVivo works and comprehensive instruction in the five steps of 'translation'. The first part of the book explains how the contradiction between analytic strategies and software tactics is reconciled by 'translating' between them.

The Five-Level QDA® method unpacks the process so that you can learn it consciously and efficiently. Expert NVivo users have unconsciously learned to do this. This contradiction is best resolved by separating analytic strategies - what you plan to do - from software tactics - how you plan to do it.

Software is cut and dried - every button you press has a predictable effect - but qualitative analysis is open ended and unfolds in unpredictable ways.
