  1. NVivo Software John.Walsh@ul.ie

  2. N6 Software Overview • Documents • Codes • Nodes • Searches • Modelling

  3. Documents

  4. Document Types • Interview Transcripts • Unstructured open questions • Organisational Documentation • Speeches • Plays, Novels etc.

  5. Document Types • Data Documents • Memos • Thoughts, developed over time • About interviewees, surroundings, queries after interview, anomalies/further questions • Get on paper at the time • Node Memos- notes on concepts

  6. Coding

  7. Coding • Identification of key Themes/Patterns • Attach ‘key words’/tags • To segments of text (text units) • Make available for inspection • Later software helps • Retrieve text units • Order themes • Search for patterns

  8. Coding Text From example interview text What codes Issues Concepts …are covered? From Theory/From Data (In Vivo)

  9. Nodes

  10. Nodes • Create Nodes in N6 for each code • Code a text unit with (multiple) codes • Can retrieve by Code

  11. Naming Nodes • Node Names • from Theoretical concepts • Structure available from Lit Review • Enable ‘mirroring’ • In Vivo • From the data • Grounded Theory

  12. Types of Nodes • Free Nodes • Not organised • Generated initially as free (first pass) • May not fit other categories • Tree Nodes • Have a Hierarchy • Categories & sub-categories

  13. Managing Nodes • Structuring free Nodes • Passes through the data • Spotting something half-way through • Iterative

  14. Searching

  15. Searching involves • Helping arrange data to AID answer questions asked when • Exploring • Reflecting on • Probing for patterns • Need to know what questions to ask!

  16. Modelling

  17. Modelling • Tree/hierarchical structures • Graphical representations (Not N6)

  18. Questions?
