Qualitative Data Analysis with NVivo: Edition 4
About this ebook
But this is more than just a ‘how to’ software manual. Each chapter offers rich, methodological discussions that interweave qualitative thinking with technology, enabling you to develop a sophisticated research practice.
Starting with how to navigate the software before moving on to different types of data you might use - such as text, images, and social media data - and how to code and visualise that data, each chapter helps you develop your skill in using NVivo to support effective qualitative analysis.
The book also:
- Helps you understand why and when to use NVivo tools and how to combine them creatively;
- Includes a new chapter on visualising and reporting on your data using NVivo;
- Provides practical support for using NVivo 14, including fully updated screenshots, click-by-click instructions, screencast videos, and datasets for you to try what you’ve learned.
Designed for anyone who wants to use NVivo in their research, this book is the go-to for conducting robust qualitative data analysis.
