Using Software in Qualitative Research

This guide to Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS) pulls together several strands of the field. It is meant to help researchers select the software package that best suits their project and to make full use of it once they have started working with it.

Rather than treating the software in isolation, the book organises its discussion around the tasks and processes of qualitative analysis. Its aim is to make these tools less intimidating and to encourage readers to make thoughtful, critical decisions about when and how software can support their analysis.
