Qualitative Data Analysis using NVivo

Using NVivo for Qualitative Data Analysis

I maintain a mailing list intended to foster a Community of Practice [opens in new window] around the use of NVivo at the University of Calgary. Sign up at https://mailman.ucalgary.ca/mailman/listinfo/nvivo-users-l [opens in new window]

NVivo is software for Windows or macOS that supports qualitative and mixed methods research. NVivo can help you:

  • Organize and code multiple data sources in one central project file.NVivo Logo
  • Assign attributes to data (e.g., demographics) for comparative purposes.
  • Add interpretations and notes.
  • Query and search data.
  • Visualize data.

The University of Calgary has a site license for NVivo version 12, and students, faculty and staff can obtain a license through the University's Software Distribution website [opens in new window] (Windows users will want the x64 version). There are also copies of NVivo installed on the machines in TFDL 440B, LabNEXT [opens in new window] , and the HSL Lab [opens in new window] .

More information on NVivo can be found at the vendor's website [opens in new window] .

Please feel free to contact me [opens in new window] if you have questions or would like a consultation on your use of NVivo.
