![]() The dataset was created on a Mac and seemed to be untested on a Windows system. Their original format and look exactly like they do when printed out or viewed in Adobe Acrobat. In MAXQDA, PDF files are imported directly, which means they keep all aspects of Websites can easily be transformed intoĭOC files by using programs like NitroPDF. In general, working with DOC/RTF files is less restricted text can be edited and additional text can be written in.įor this reason, it is always advantageous to use the RTF/DOC formats if possible. PDF (Portable Document Format) is a PostScript-like format that uses fixed pages whereas DOC or RTF filesĭo not. At this point, it is important to mention that PDF and DOC/RTF files are handled differently by various QDA There were also no RTF orĭOC documents, which are the most commonly-used file types in qualitative analysis, and even the PDFs were just printouts Notes, focus group discussions etc., everything in this project was taken from online resources.

Videos, blogs, and audio files from a wide variety of sources, which added up to a very large amount of material, including In this case the KWALON data set included various media, including newspaper articles, When starting a data analysis using QDA (Qualitative Data Analysis) software, researchers must think about how to organize The following sections describe how these five steps were carried out in the analysis and which software functions were used Organizing the data set, importing the data and making decisions about transcribing audio and video files Įxploring the data: reading, viewing and initial coding ĭeciding which aspect of the research questions to focus on and which methods of analysis to apply (-> micro-macro analysis) Ĭoding, memoing, dimensionalizing the data, and developing theory andĭisplaying the data with conceptual mapping. The process of analyzing the KWALON data set Part demonstrates which program features of MAXQDA 10 enabled this analysis. The first part focuses on our analysis strategy and some of the initial results. This article is based on our presentation for the KWALON conference, which, due to the ash cloud over Iceland, could not beĭelivered at that point in time.

Keywords: MAXQDA, Library and Information Science, Qualitative analysis, Content analysis, Thematic analysis.Responsibility: A Key Category for Understanding the Discourse on the Financial Crisis-Analyzing the KWALON Data Set with MAXQDA 10Ībstract: This article explains the process and findings of a computer-supported (MAXQDA 10) qualitative analysis of the financialĬrisis based on text, audio and video files provided by the KWALON program committee. Therefore, introducing this software to all researchers is necessary. This paper will increase the knowledge about the use of qualitative research methods in the field Library and Information Science (LIS). It is recommended to all the investigators to use MAXQDA as one of the leading software in their study. This software can be used by the researchers to classify the data. Content analysis and thematic analysis are two types of the analysis which are completed by using this software. LIS researchers need to support and improve their study by preparing the qualitative data with MAXQDA, code with coding system and organize the data for analysis. This study aims to review the software, especially for the LIS researchers to do their study in a scholastic manner. ![]() Abstract : MAXQDA is a qualitative software to analyze mixed methods data and qualitative findings in the field of text, video, and photo which is used for explaining and theoretical analysis in the social and cultural phenomena. ![]()
