NVivo

NVivo is a software package that helps with qualitative data analysis. Keep track of all data associated with your project, code your data, create models to help organize your research, run queries on your coded data, create charts and reports for sharing with others...

COVID-19 UPDATE :

  • We have now completed our winter term workshops. For Spring and Summer 2020 we are available for online consultations (individuals or groups) via e-mail, Zoom or Big Blue Button.

  • NVivo is offering 2 free webinars that may be of help to social researchers.
    Isolation measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 means that social researchers who conduct face-to-face fieldwork (interviews, focus groups, participant observation, ethnographies etc) are now faced with the challenge of either delaying or re-inventing their methods so that they can continue their research until these measures are relaxed.  This webinar will explore ways that researchers can adapt their methods, including approaches for online data collection.

  • Carleton's  license is currently for NVivo 12 and covers both the Mac and Windows version.
    A new version of NVivo has recently been released (March 18, 2020), we are waiting to get our license key for it. In the meantime, please continue to download version 12
  • The 2 versions do not offer exactly the same features.
