NVivo originated in the Grounded Theory tradition but used the qualitative research community to evolve to the all-encompassing application helpful for a wide range of qualitative and mixed methods studies.īarbour, R. The chapter concludes with the observation that NVivo is a multipurpose tool that allows researchers to find their own way and handle a multitude of textual and audio-visual material in numerous ways. The second part of the chapter illustrates the triple power of NVivo: data management, data coding and data analysis by querying coded material or developing conceptual models. Despite this criticism, NVivo is a helpful tool to gain depth and breath in one’s analysis. Even though NVivo and other qualitative software programs are considered today as evident tools for the qualitative researcher, several critical objections have been made against it: the legitimation of any analysis by using software, conflation of qualitative data analysis with the coding process, distancing a researcher from his data and the issue of oversized qualitative research projects. The chapter first presents a critical appraisal of this type of research software in the qualitative research cycle.

Learning Outcomesīy the end of the workshop, we expect that you’ll be able to: This workshop does not assume any previous knowledge of NVivo or other QDA software. In this workshop, we’ll work towards an understanding of NVivo’s capabilities and explore how this tool can be used in your research plan. Within an NVivo file, you can upload and analyze text, multimedia, or survey data in a way that helps you answer your research question. NVivo is a software for conducting qualitative and mixed methods analysis.
