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.
Good guidance for qualitative analysis supported by software. Useful for researchers and students engaged in qualitative surveys.
Out of date and confusing. Several CAQDAS products are discussed side-by-side, so not easy to follow.
A very useful introduction to the key software for qualitative data analysis. The focus is on introducing these tools in a practical & simplified way. I will be adding to my reading lists.
Thorough and comprehensive, much updated since the the previous version, Title is accurate and appropriate; it is a step-by-step guide, essential reading for any student considering using software for analysis
The book offers a good overview of different QDA-tools and a detailed description of the specific possibilities of each presented tool and how to use it. I recommended this book to give students the possibility to widen their knowledge about different QDA-tools and to find the one that fits best their individual research especially having their upcoming mastertheses in mind.
Okay for what its purpose is but limited for Dedoose.
A useful resource for students who are undertaking qualitative research. It is clearly set out with many useful examples.
I recommend this publication to my students for several reasons: It is well structured, firstly introducing general issues and ideas of using software in qualitative research processes, subsequently focusing on concrete data to illustrate the respective potential of the presented CAQDAS programs. Being provided with example material from the companion website helps acquiring a basic understanding of these software programs by self-studying.
Very helpful for qualitative research and analysis
An excellent supporting text
This is an excellent textbook providing an in-depth orientation to and working with CAQDAS.
A useful book covering essential tools for qualitative research, very useful for students completing their own qualitative research.
Very interesting and very detailled description of the matter. Was very good received by the stundents.
There is a lot of good content in this book, but it is poorly ordered. The book shows how three different qualitative research software packages can be used. The problem is, the content is separated by functions, not packages, hence a single page mught feature three explanations of one function. If you are using one package alone, exactly one third of this book will be relevant. This book is better used as a side-by-side evaluation of the most popular qualitative data analysis software available. Used as a guide to one package, it will be less effective.
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"
The volume offers a comprehensive introduction to software use in qualitative research. By its clear didactic build-up it guides both, the adavanced student, who works on his/her own and is in need of support in his/her step-by-step data analysis and likewise the experienced researcher, who is familiar with 'by-hand' data analysis and is now surprised by the systematic support CAQDAS approaches can offer alternatively to meaningful data analysis.
Good to have a clear, concise text on qualitative research.
This second edition is much improved in that the material very specific to the software (which dates readily) has been removed to a website. The text is simplified to a slightly more general level without losing its essence as a step-by-step guide to using software for qualitative data analysis. Anne Lewins has worked in this area for many years and I cannot think of a better person to author such a book.
Practical, sound advice. Essential reading for those undertaking qualitative research
