A Step-by-Step Guide
- Christina Silver - University of Surrey, UK, Qualitative Data Analysis Services, UK

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 edition is 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
This text provides a good introduction of using CAQDAS in qualitative research. There is some good chapters on coding as well as summaries of different CAQDAS packages.
This is a fantastic resource book for engaging in using QDA software that is not bound to one programme but shows their continuities. Excellent companion site and resources make it an ideal teaching book too. May yet become "essential for purchase""
This is a very good book in guiding students in the process of using software techniques in qualitative analysis
Very interesting and very detailled description of the matter. Was very good received by the stundents.
Okay for what its purpose is but limited for Dedoose.
Good to have a clear, concise text on qualitative research.
This updated version now features a broader range of software programs for analyzing qualitative research. I believe this text, like the previous version, provides students with a practical approach to using software for qualitative analysis.
This is an outstanding introduction to an integral aspect of doing qualitative research using a range of software. Critical, engaging, challenging but ultimately informative and supportive.
Decided to use different book in class. However, I recommend the book to our grad students.
A useful resource for students who are undertaking qualitative research. It is clearly set out with many useful examples.
