NVIVO is a qualitative data analysis (QDA) computer software package produced by QSR International. It has been designed for qualitative researchers working with very rich text-based or multimedia information, where deep levels of analysis are required. NVIVO is used pre-dominantly by academic, government, health and commercial researchers across a diverse range of fields. NVIVO is intended to help users organize and analyze non-numerical or unstructured data. The software allows users to classify, sort and arrange information; examine relationships in the data; and combine analysis with linking, shaping, searching and modeling.

 

Research Center is organizing an international online workshop "NVivo Fundamentals and Advanced Usage" on 6-7 April, 2017  (Thursday- Friday) from 9:30am-5:00pm PST through HD Video Conferencing.
