4.0 out of 5 stars
Terrific introduction to NVivo software by a researcher, June 23, 2005
This review is from: Qualitative Data Analysis: Explorations with NVivo (Understanding Social Research) (Spiral-bound)
This is a terrific book. For it is a clearly conceptualized, organized, and written introduction to NVivo qualitative data analysis software by a researcher (rather than, for example, by a writer of computer manuals) that is not only a helpful and practical guide to the software but also a guide to the kinds of issues that arise in qualitative research. He also discusses how the software can be used from the perspective of several different research traditions. And he provides sample data, from an actual research project and downloadable from the Web, that are the basis of his explanations. Yet I and some co-researchers found that we could use the book just as well with our own data directly. Highly recommended for anyone intending to use NVivo for a research project.
