This is the first practical guide to using QSR NUD.IST - the leading software package for development, support and management of qualitative data analysis projects.
The book takes a user's perspective and presents the software as a set of tools for approaching a range of research issues and projects that the researcher may encounter. It starts by introducing and explaining what the software is intended to do and the different types of problems that it can be applied to. It then covers the key stages in carrying out qualitative data analysis, including strategies for setting up a project in QSR NUD.IST, and how to explore the data through coding, indexing and searching. There are practical exercises throughout to illustrate the strategies and techniques discussed.
QSR NUD·IST 4 is distributed by Scolari, Sage Publications Software.
