ATLAS.ti: The Qualitative Data Analysis & Research Software. CAQDAS (New Media Methods @ Loughborough University) Although it is true that all CAQDAS programs fulfill similar tasks (Lewins & Silver 2004: 3ff; Weitzman and Miles 1995), at the same time there are some substantial differences between the different packages (Heimgartner 2005; Lewins & Silver 2004; Lewis 2004).

These are not simple differences of taste. As I have demonstrated elsewhere (Koenig 2004), specific methodologies might require a specific CAQDAS, which may not always be the program most widely available. Even if the CAQDAS available to you might support your chosen methodology, classical path dependence theory (David 1985) cautions us against choosing a program solely on the basis that it is available at one's institution. Since the learning curve for almost all CAQDAS is steep, even peer group support might not outweigh the advantages a better fit for your methodology might have. Elsewhere I have followed others (e.g.; Lewins & Silver 2004: 3), who argue that CAQDAS cannot decide about a methodological approach.

Technical Data. Software - Resource Library - HIV/AIDS. CDC EZ-Text CDC EZ-Text is a software program developed to assist researchers create, manage, and analyze semi-structured qualitative databases. Researchers can design a series of data entry templates tailored to their questionnaire. These questionnaires are usually administered during face-to-face interviews with a sample of respondents. A response to a question may be entered into EZ-Text either as a verbatim transcript (e.g., from a tape recording), or a summary generated from the interviewer's notes. Data from respondents can be typed directly into the templates or copied from word processor documents. Following data entry, investigators can interactively create on-line codebooks, apply codes to specific response passages, develop case studies, conduct database searches to identify text passages that meet user-specified conditions, and export data in a wide array of formats for further analysis with other qualitative or statistical analysis software programs.

Epi Info. A.A.P.P.Q and C-I-SAID. I have been retired for more than 10 years but I still get e-mails about C-I-SAID and the A.A.P.PQ.
