For users of NVivo, a new (second) edition of Qualitative Data Analysis with NVivo by Pat Bazeley and Kristi Jackson has just been published by Sage. This edition updates advice and instruction for Version 10 of the software, and, as well as chapters on coding and linking data, using attributes for comparisons and a range of other queries, it has new chapters on working with literature, multimedia (including webpages and social media), mixed methods and social media datasets, visualisations, and teamwork. Each chapter places tools provided by the software into a methods context, and explains why and how best to use the tools, as well as providing instructions on what to do when using them.

Just a reminder that Dedoose is a platform independent web app, so it runs as well on a Mac or a PC.  Also, we're receiving lot's of inquiries about our migration tools to move projects from NVivo, Atlas.ti, and many others.  So, if there is any interest, feel free to contact us at support@dedoose.com.

 

Cheers,

Hi ILA ALLEN,

 

Seems like you will be collectionf qualittaive data. I think QDA Miner integrated with WordStat can be the option. I found these excellent or my work.

Looks like the slides are no longer available, but the content is still up (albeit in separate review documents) here: http://www.surrey.ac.uk/sociology/research/researchcentres/caqdas/f...

Hi Hannah,

You bring up accountability and that is a good point.  It seems like everybody uses NVivo and I am aware that I have to run Bootcamp, Paralles, or VMWare Fusion in order to run these programs. I tried the link you provided and it said "not found" so if you could look into it that would be great.

Best

Just a head's up on recent Dedoose: http://www.dedoose.com developments...and a reminder that being web-based, Dedoose is platform independent and natively collaborative--if you have a browser, you and your team are ready to use all Dedoose has to offer. Also, one of our most exciting developments of late is to fully populate a Dedoose project with output from SurveyMonkey and migration tools to convert NVivo, and any project that can be exported to a spreadsheet form, directly into Dedoose.

 

Cheers,

Ila, if you can use software I think it is not only more efficient but also promotes better accountability for your own findings.  I sympathize on the Mac issue and wish there were more packages available for Mac!  I am an NVivo user but the only way to use it on a Mac is if your Mac can run parallels.  If not, you might try HyperResearch (which has a free download version if you have 7 or fewer cases), or one of the open source packages.  There is a good overview of the available options here: http://caqdas.soc.surrey.ac.uk/PDF/CAQ09CSslides.pdf

Hello,

I have not quite decided what software (if any) I will use.  I am doing a Netnography (online ethnographic research) and will be analyzing online groups with some interviews and a lot of text.  I really do not know anything about the various software packages and I also have a Mac.  The majority of them are for PC so that issue has to be dealt with as well.  A colleague suggested I do it the old fashion way and just code by hand. I have not made it that far but just trying to look ahead a bit.  So any suggestions would be great.

Complex multivariate data structures are better understood by studying low-dimensional projections. For a joint study of two data sets, we may ask what type of low-dimensional projection helps in finding possible joint structures for the two samples. The canonical correlation analysis is a standard tool of multivariate statistical analysis for discovery and quantification of association between two sets of variables

Yes Melika, i can help. Please help to suggest some thing on canonical correlation. For what purpose you are going to use it? Kindly be little more elaborate so that i can send you material on the same subject.
