From getting started to completing your research project, this book provides a practical guide to using QSR NUD+IST NVivo, the latest qualitative software package. Written in clear language, the book is accompanied by a CD-ROM which carries a demonstration version of the software, together with six tutorials to use with your own data. Much more than a manual, the book offers advice with each section, addressing a range of research approaches and priorities. Each chapter starts with an overview and includes tips on design issues and ways of flexibly managing your project.QSR NVivo is distributed by Scolari, SAGE Publications Software.
