Eli Lieber, CEO, Cofounder of Dedoose, on " How to Use Dedoose for Analyzing Qualitative and Mixed Methods Data". The Research Methodology SIG hosted a webinar by Dr. The guides include full books, articles, videos, case studies, and more. Please also visit the UOPX Library page to access the Sage Research Methods Guides. Qualitative analysis of text, images, audio, and video source material, code maps, auto coding, and much more audio, video, PDF, photos, web pages, YouTube, and social mediaĪ tool for the transcription & qualitative analysis of audio & video data If you are not sure where to start, this table offers a comparison of options that meet most research needs:įull web-based qualitative and mixed methods Support interactive visualizations and analysis Link to the American Evaluation Association's complete list of qualitative software. Whether you decide on one of these options, or select one of the many other options on the market, considering product features and functionality will ensure your data collection is a success. Some products offer discounts to educators, while others provide discounts for students and/or faculty.
It is the researcher’s responsibility to determine which product best aligns with their project.Īlthough the University does not endorse any particular product, the below link provides a list of possible software options used by academic researchers according to the American Evaluation Association. Important: Although a product may include a given feature, functionality varies across programs, plans, and even platforms. How the data can be exported imported into the softwareĭoes the software have the same functionality across platforms (PC and Mac)ĭata security during and after the data collection The types of data you will collect that will need to be analyzedĪbility to access reports about your data collection in real-time Length of time you will need access to the tool All qualitative software can assist the researcher in organizing the data however, the software will not analyze the data for you.Īs a start, we encourage researchers to select a product by considering the following features: It is important to note that the selected software are only a few options that are available in the field today. We provide a comparison of a few possible options below. Researchers should examine the limits and functionality, as well as cost, of multiple products as they make a decision.
Qualitative data analysis software products vary and researchers should consider what product features are needed to support their particular study design. This page focuses on qualitative data analysis software used in research studies. Varied approaches to qualitative data analysis inform how we discuss the functions of software.While the University does not endorse any one vendor or product, we have worked with our researchers to identify features and functionality to consider when making a choice. We keep the subject matter of other chapters in mind as the step by step tasks in these pages get deeper into the interpretive and interrogation processes of analysing different media. Experimenting with these processes where relevant in your chosen software will help to become familiar with useful entities in the software. In Chapter 5 to help get you started, we talk about productive things you can do in the early stages of setting up a ‘project’ in software. Note that once you are working in a software ‘project’ there is no clear linearity or set sequence in the way things have to be achieved so you can draw flexibly from each set of exercises. She provides a selection of ideas for analytic actions using focus group data and survey data from a spread sheet. These pages are followed by other tasks of data import, data preparation, organisation, coding and analysis.Īnn Dupuis has oriented some exercises loosely using case study B data (Financial Downturn).
You can use the ‘mixed methods importer’ to import a spreadsheet of mixed quantitative and qualitative data and the software auto-processes the information on import.You can create an empty project and later add different data types.HyperTranscribe (sister package) provides compatible transcription of digital mediaĪs you will see in the subsequent pages – there are various types of data which can be imported and some of them are auto-processed as they are imported. HyperRESEARCH provides a flexible range of different ways to handle the analysis of qualitative data - good coding tools, memoing, case-based data organisation, in-context retrieval, interrogation and mapping functions are applicable to multiple media data types. We thank Ann Dupuis of ResearchWare for contributing to these companion web pages. HyperRESEARCH a product of ResearchWare Inc.
