ATLASTI QDA SOFTWARE
This contradiction is best resolved by separating analytic strategies – what you plan to do – from software tactics – how you plan to do it.
ATLASTI QDA FREE
NCapture is a free web-browser extension for Chrome that enables you to gather web content to import into NVivo.Software is cut-and-dried – every button you press has a predictable effect – but qualitative analysis is open-ended and unfolds in unpredictable ways.
ATLASTI QDA PC
List of known issues with NVivo for PC formats (from QSR)Ĭonverting Projects Between Windows and Mac If working on separate copies of files, they must be merged carefully using import procedures. And another great set of videos from Duke University on preparing for teamwork. Here is QSR's page on Teamwork and video on improving research team collaboration.

Protocols include coding naming conventions, initials to distinguish each other's work, and logging major version changes or other project milestones. In both cases, however, developing operating procedures around shared access is crucial. Sharing access from individual licenses, such as on JHU's SAFE Desktop platform, requires more coordination among team members.

Teamwork and collaboration: Shared and simultaneous access to an NVivo project is easiest with NVivo's collaboration cloud. NVivo can export the REFI-QDA Standard format (.qdpx) which allows importing projects to ATLAS.ti and certain other QDA software. JHU's IT Risk office has not evaluated that security (to our knowledge), so use for PHI and HIPAA covered data may require their review before investing in their collaboration product.Įxporting and importing projects: NVivo can import projects from ATLAS.ti. NVivo Teams does provide better encryption and access controls for data stored on QSR's cloud.
ATLASTI QDA PASSWORD
Consider password management software such as LastPass or 1Password. For sensitive source data with personal or health identifiers, consider storing and accessing projects with NVivo on JHU's SAFE Desktop platform, which can be access freely by JHU faculty, staff, and approved students. If working collaboratively on a dataset, manage the shared password securely. Source audio/video and transcripts stored with a project on your workstation are not encrypted. the company does not provide sufficient information about whether security for use of the desktop version is sufficient for human subject personal and health identifiers. Project data is stored on the user's computer by default. ĭata Security: NVivo has password protection but the program does not encrypt the data itself. Cloud storage is fine for backup copies, as long as it is not the accessed version. It is important to back up the project file ideally to another drive or cloud storage. This can make collaborative access to files challenging, so consider NVivo Teams for such cases. Projects should be accessed from a single desktop or laptop. Bundles kept on cloud storage, such as OneDrive, or even a network server, may be prone to corruption from file syncing and remote access. Storage & Backup: NVivo maintains associated text and A/V file types associated within a project bundle, appearing as a single file on the PC. The installed version is for single-user access to projects, rather than the nVivo Collaborative Cloud.

SAFE Desktop accounts are available to JHU faculty and research staff, who can sponsor student access to projects. NVivo can also be accessed on JHU's SAFE Desktop platform.
ATLASTI QDA PRO
(Note that projects from current Nvivo 1.6 are not compatible with Nvivo Pro 12.) Academic and Student pricing is available for purchasing nVivo. Eisenhower Library on the Homewood campus. Nvivo Pro 12 is installed on PCs in the Data Services Computer Lab on A-Level of the Milton S. Consider the installation on JHU SAFE Desktop instead.) (QSR's cloud storage has security features, but inquire with JH IT Risk office before storing JHM data with PHI. NVivo Collaboration is for collaborative data analysis. It is adequate for focused techniques but is oriented toward serving as a core of a qualitative project's data analysis and management.Īll current versions are called NVivo, for PC and Mac versions. It is one of the flagship QDAS programs supporting most of the features and functions listed in the QDAS Overview Section. NVivo qualitative data analysis software is published by QSR International.
