Reverse Engineering Chinese Censorship through Randomized Experimentation and Participant Observation.Abstract Chinese government censorship of social media constitutes the largest coordinated selective suppression of human communication in recorded history. Although existing research on the subject has revealed a great deal, it is based on passive, observational methods, with well known inferential limitations. For example, these methods can reveal nothing about censorship that occurs before submissions are posted, such as via automated review which we show is used at two-thirds of all social media sites.
We offer two approaches to overcome these limitations. Gking.harvard.edu/files/gking/files/words.pdf. WebQDA. Miscellaneous resources for content analysis and text analysis.

QDA Miner Lite - Free Qualitative Data Analysis Software. Choosing CAQDAS Software | Brain Thing. I’m no masochist so I use CAQDAS software to make coding qualitative data easier. But which to use? I decided to try a few to find out. Back on my masters course, I was taught how to use ATLAS.ti. I also downloaded trial versions of NVivo 8 and MAXQDA 10, both proprietary CAQDAS packages. In addition, I tried WEFT QDA and Digital Replay System, both open source (and therefore free) software. I installed and tried each for varying amounts of time. Installation All of the programmes, with the exception of Digital Replay System, come as a self-installing .exe file, making installation easy. Usability I found that none of the software packages were so easy to use that I didn’t have to delve into the manual or online help at least a few times to get myself going. To code a piece of text you simply select it in the document view, then, if the code is one you’ve already created, just drag and drop the code from the code view on to the text!

Chelt.anu.edu.au/sites/default/files/hero/analysis.pdf. Qualitative Data. An Introduction to Coding and Analysis Carl Auerbach, Louise B. Silverstein Publication Year: 2003 Qualitative Data is meant for the novice researcher who needs guidance on what specifically to do when faced with a sea of information. It takes readers through the qualitative research process, beginning with an examination of the basic philosophy of qualitative research, and ending with planning and carrying out a qualitative research study. The volume provides actual examples based on the authors' own work, including two published pieces in the appendix, so that readers can follow examples for each step of the process, from the project's inception to its finished product.

Chatter | TalkBank.
Chatter Chatter is a cross-platform application that performs strict validation of CHAT transcripts and also can convert CHAT to XML conforming to our XML schema. It is written in pure Java except for a system-dependent portion that calls the CLAN editor. Prerequisites Chatter requires that Java 7 or 8 be installed on your computer. If you have not already installed a recent version of Java, please download and install Java. Downloads Choose from the following: MacOS X application supporting drag-and-drop. To do so, change the "Save as type" to "All Files", and edit the "File name" to remove the ".zip" that Internet Explorer substituted for ".jar", and type back in the correct ".jar" extension.
System requirements Chatter will run on any platform with Java 5 (or higher) installed. Usage In GUI mode, Chatter operates by taking a folder and processing all the CHAT files inside the folder, recursively through any subfolders. The Redo button allows a convenient validate-edit cycle. Using CLAN. Warning: After installing a new version of CLAN for use with old data, you will need to get a new version of the MOR grammar and run MOR, POST, and CHECK again on your old data to make sure they work with the newer format. Alternatively, you may wish continue using old versions of CLAN with old versions of corpora.
However, CHILDES data on the web are always updated to run with new versions of CLAN. For Windows: CLANWin is for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 2000. Windows 95, 98, or ME are no longer supported. Also, you will need to install QuickTime and Unicode fonts. Japanese installation instructions are here 日本 For Macintosh: CLAN is for Mac OS X users from 10.6 and up. If you need Unicode fonts, you can get them from here. Unix Installation: For Unix users, we are distributing the source code for CLAN. A Brief Description: The CLAN Programs are downloaded, installed, and used as a single application. Learning CLAN: You can also follow along with this CLAN Tutorial from Spencer Hazel.

Volume 1, No. 3, Art. 20 – December 2000 Increasing the Reusability of Qualitative Data with XML Thomas Muhr Abstract: A rising number of QDA (Qualitative Data Analysis) programs exist today each having their own approaches, strengths and weaknesses. For the researcher it is not always an easy choice. This decision is often crucial, as each of the programs process project data in their own proprietary (vendor specific) formats, sometimes equipped with options to convert it into another—often also proprietary—format. Proprietary data enforces platform and vendor dependence, makes flexible choice of methods, free data exchange across projects, space, time and methods a costly if not impossible experience. A "single-source-multiple-use" approach offers means to represent data from different sources in a format which can be processed by existing and future applications.
This article is addressed to researchers ("users"), developers of QDA software and administrators of data archives. 1. 2. 3. Extensible Markup Language and Qualitative Data Analysis | Carmichael. Volume 3, No. 2, Art. 13 – May 2002 Extensible Markup Language and Qualitative Data Analysis Patrick Carmichael Abstract: The increasing popularity of Extensible Markup Language (XML) and the availability of software capable of reading and editing XML documents present opportunities for Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) facilities to be incorporated into "groupware" applications such as collaborative workspaces and "document bases", and to be made available across networks both within organisations and across the Internet. Collaborative systems have, in the past, characteristically, been geared to retrieve and present whole documents, and while annotation and discussion of documents has been possible within such systems, the "pencil-level" analysis commonplace in CAQDAS (Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software) has been lacking.

Open Source Qualitative Software | Information Research and Analysis (IRA) Lab. So you have a wealth of qualitative data, and need to find the perfect program for analysis. Unfortunately, many qualitative software options can be hard on the wallet. Remember that the IRA lab provides access to both NVivo and ATLAS.ti. However, there are also open- source alternatives to consider. See below for a list and brief overview! 1.
