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. 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! MAXQDA is the clear winner for me with regards to usability. File Sizes (and, therefore, Portability) Price

EXMARaLDA Download latest official version [September 11 2013] Download latest preview [January 16 2015 (1137)] EXMARaLDA is an acronym of "Extensible Markup Language for Discourse Annotation". It is a system of concepts, data formats and tools for the computer assisted transcription and annotation of spoken language, and for the construction and analysis of spoken language corpora. EXMARaLDA was originally developed in the project "Computer assisted methods for the creation and analysis of multilingual data" at the Collaborative Research Center "Multilingualism" (Sonderforschungsbereich "Mehrsprachigkeit" - SFB 538) at the University of Hamburg. The main features of EXMARaLDA are: XML based data formats All EXMARaLDA data are stored in XML files. Furthermore, EXMARaLDA data can be transformed into a number of widely used presentation formats (RTF, HTML, PDF) for web-based or printed publication.

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. Elsewhere I have followed others (e.g.; Lewins & Silver 2004: 3), who argue that CAQDAS cannot decide about a methodological approach. After reviewing technical and ergonomic features of the softwares, their suitability for different forms of textual and multimedia data, this comparison follows the conceptualization of the main CAQDAS functions, as they have been identified by Weitzman and Miles (1995): Searches, coding strategies, and theory visualization networks.

Software for content analysis and text analysis: Qualitative analysis Annotations for Mac Mac software to analyse documents by adding and organising highlights, tags or notes on text passages. ATLAS.ti Computer software for the support of text interpretation, text management and the extraction of conceptual knowledge from documents (theory building); supports the qualitative analysis of large bodies of textual, graphical, audio and video data. A demo version is provided via download. CAQDAS Comparison A comparative overview of the most important computer-assisted qualitative data analyses software packages, ordered by product functions. CDC EZ-Text The software to assist researchers create, manage, and analyze semi-structured qualitative databases is available free of charge. Choosing a CAQDAS Package The working paper by Ann Lewins and Christina Silver gives an overview of different types of software for managing textual or qualitative data and describes common and distinctive features of several “Code-based Theory Building” software packages.

Centre National de Ressources Textuelles et Lexicales Flemm v3.1 : Analyseur Flexionnel du français pour des corpus étiquetés FLEMMv3.1 est un ensemble de modules Perl5 qui effectue l'analyse flexionnelle de textes en français qui ont été au préalable étiquetés au moyen de l'un des deux catégorisateurs : Brill ou TreeTagger. C'est un petit programme (60kb au format zippé, à l'exclusion des programmes et corpus test), principalement basé sur l'usage de règles (un lexique de 3000 mots seulement est utilisé pour prendre en compte les exceptions). Il fonctionne sur PC ou station de travail, sous Unix, Linux ou Windows9x/NT/XP. Les objets résultat renvoyés par Flemm sont susceptibles d'être affichés en tant que structures XML. Barre d'outils pour le portail lexical utilisable avec le navigateur Firefox Cette extension permet l'utilisation du portail lexical du CNRTL directement depuis une barre d'outils installée dans le navigateur Internet Firefox.

Systematic Versus Interpretive Analysis with Two CAQDAS Packages: NVivo and MAXQDA | Kuş Saillard Volume 12, No. 1, Art. 34 – January 2011 Systematic Versus Interpretive Analysis with Two CAQDAS Packages: NVivo and MAXQDA Elif Kuş Saillard Abstract: The purpose of this study is to compare two different Computer Assisted Qualitative Data AnalysiS (CAQDAS) packages (NVivo and MAXQDA) on a specific aspect. Key words: grounded theory methodology; CAQDAS; NVivo; MAXQDA Table of Contents 1. 2. 2.1 My data 3. 3.1 Terminology 3.2 Interfaces: Coding workspaces 3.3 Open coding and in-vivo coding 3.4 Coding Tool Bar 3.5 Adding reflexive notes: Memos, comments, annotations 4. 5. References Author Citation 1. Computer Assisted Qualitative Data AnalysiS (CAQDAS) packages have a thirty year history. As expressed by Nigel FIELDING at the CAQDAS 07 Conference in 2007: "CAQDAS choice is like buying a car—there is no such thing as the one 'best car' but rather the 'right car' for your mix of needs and purposes" (FIELDING & LEE, 2007, p.5). 2. 2.1 My data 3. 3.1 Terminology 3.2 Interfaces: Coding workspaces With NVivo
