NVivo is our preference, but don’t take our word for it – visit the CAQDAS Networking Project for further information about what’s available.

It’s worth pointing out that there are other software possibilities, such as Dedoose, ATLAS.ti, MAXQDA and QDAMiner. You can extract information across selected criteria with the push of a few buttons, and when you are drafting your thesis or report, there’s the capacity to easily insert verbatim text directly from your NVivo project.

Alternatively, I may have undertaken a survey with a couple of open-ended questions – being able to import an Excel file containing this data means that I can code it alongside transcripts from my semi-structured interviews. For example, I can import journal articles and other PDFs, and compare what my participants reported with the existing literature on the topic.

NVivo provides a good structure for this – I can keep track of (and review) transcripts as I import them into my project, see how far I have progressed with my coding, and make notes of emerging ideas (via memos) as I code.
