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.Abstract:
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 editionis 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!read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the academic workflow of software that can support literature review, analysis, and synthesis using the Literature Grounded Theory (LGT) method, focusing on functionality, not software tools themselves as certain software tends to vary over time in response to market conditions.
Herramientas informáticas para el análisis cualitativo de la imagen audiovisual: nuevos recursos para la investigación en comunicación
Abstract: espanolLa investigacion cualitativa en Ciencias Sociales ha experimentado un auge considerable en los ultimos anos, coincidiendo en el tiempo con el perfeccionamiento de una serie de herramientas informaticas concebidas y desarrolladas desde un enfoque igualmente cualitativo. Los estudios en comunicacion, sin embargo, todavia no han generalizado el uso de este tipo de recursos, a pesar de que las lineas de investigacion ma s innovadoras ponen sobre la mesa opciones de incuestionable interes para este campo de conocimiento. Uno de ellos es el analisis de la imagen, tanto fija como en movimiento, que se puede beneficiar de la aplicacion sistematica de estos programas a la hora de aumentar tanto su capacidad como su profundidad de analisis, integrando el componente textual con los elementos visuales. Este trabajo tiene como punto de partida previo un estudio comparativo de las prestaciones de los principales programas informaticos de analisis cualitativo en materia de gestion de documentos audiovisuales, tomando como referencia la abundante bibliografia de caracter practico que se ha desarrollado durante la ultima decada (Lewins & Silver, 2007; Fielding, Lee & Blank, 2008). Ademas, y dado que el proposito del texto combina la investigacion con la divulgacion, en segundo lugar presentaremos una aplicacion concreta de uno de estos programas (Atlas.ti) al analisis de noticiarios televisivos. Tanto en este texto escrito como, sobre todo, en la presentacion publica de los resultados se mostraran ejemplos practicos de las operaciones analiticas que se pueden desarrollar gracias al avance tecnologico que suponen los programas informaticos para el analisis cualitativo de datos. EnglishComputer tools for qualitative data analysis have completed a constant process of expansion and consolidation since 1980. Despite these breakth roughs, their usage in Social Sciences still remains as a minority (Silver & Patashnick, 2011). Causes point to a relative lack of knowledge within the scientific community and also to the problems associated with how the development of programs is meeting different needs and can deal with data coming from many different sources. At the same time, the media formats are beginn ing to be used more frequently in the social sciences. Among them, research in ommunication is one of the disciplines involved in these developments, since much of his research is done on audiovisual materials. However, paradoxically, the type of analysis is complet ed on these materials remains anchored in the classical parameters, which refer to the written text and craftsmanship. NVivo, ATLAS.ti, MAXqda or Transana are just so me of the more widespread tools allowing research teams to implement analytical processes in a more systematic, orderly and productive fashion. Many CAQDAS present very different degrees of data integration coming from text, static image, sound or moving image, but all of them make the qualitative dialogue processes throughout the empirical analysis easier. The opportunities are obvious, but limits are also visible as one advance in its daily use. This paper presents, first, a critical comparative study of the major benefits and weaknesses of qualitative analysis software for the management of audiovisual materials, following the references coming from a growing scientific and practical literature developed during the last decade (Lewins & Silver, 2007; Fielding, Lee & Blank, 2008). Moreover, given that the purpose of this paper combines research with dissemination of knowledge, secondly we will present a concrete implementation of one of these programs (Atlas.ti), by means of a qualitative content analysis of television news stories. Both the written full text of this paper and mainly the presentation of the results will show practica l examples of analytical operations that can be developed thanks to technological advances arising from such software.
