Using Software in Qualitative Research is an essential introduction to the practice and principles of Computer Assisted Qualitative Data AnalysiS (CAQDAS). The book will help you to choose the most appropriate package for your needs and get the most out of the software once you are using it. This book considers a wide range of tasks and processes in the data management and analysis process, and shows how software can help you at each stage. In the new edition, the authors present three case studies with different forms of data (text, video and mixed data) and show how each step in the analysis process for each project could be supported by software. The new edition will be accompanied by an extensive companion website with step-by-step instructions produced by the software developers themselves. Software programmes covered in second edition include the latest versions of: ?ATLAS.ti ?DEDOOSE ?HyperRESEARCH ?MAXQDA ?NVivo ?QDA Miner ?TRANSANA Ann Lewins and Christina Silver are leading experts in the field of CAQDAS and have trained thousands of students and researchers in using software. Reading this book is like having Ann and Christina at your shoulder as you analyse your data!

Making Sense of Software in Qualitative Research combines several aspects of Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS), helping the reader choose the most appropriate package for their specific needs and get the most out of the software once they are using it. The text considers tasks and processes, bringing them together to demystify qualitative software and encourage flexible and critical choices and uses of software in supporting analysis. This text can be read as a whole or chapters can be treated on a more stand-alone basis, building on one another to provide a holistic sense of the analytic journey without advocating a particular sequential process. Accessible and comprehensive, Making Sense of Software in Qualitative Research provides a practical but analytically grounded guide to thinking about and using software and will be an essential companion for any qualitative researcher.

The Five-Level QDA method is a pedagogy for harnessing computer-assisted qualitative data analysis, or CAQDAS, packages powerfully while remaining true to the emergent spirit of qualitative and mixed-methods research. The method transcends methodologies, specific CAQDAS packages, and teaching modes, by explicating the common process that experienced researchers and CAQDAS experts unconsciously adopt when harnessing this software powerfully. The method focuses on the difference between strategies and tactics, and specifically, the contradictory nature of analytic strategies (which are to varying degrees iterative and emergent) and software tactics (which are inherently step-by-step and algorithmic). The method is concerned with the most effective way of managing this contradiction. Avoidance and compromise are problematic ways to manage the contraction, and the method instead transcends the contradiction by translating between strategies and tactics. Translation is a five-step process that makes explicit what experienced researchers and CAQDAS experts unconsciously perform. Once learned and practiced, the process rapidly becomes unconscious and second nature, avoiding a lengthy trial-and-error process for using the software powerfully. After presenting the principles and practice of the method, this entry ends by describing four case studies of qualitative research projects that were undertaken using the Five-Level QDA approach using three different CAQDAS packages.
