Furthermore, unstructured texts like interviews, open-ended questionnaires, articles, journal articles, web content and even audio, video and image data are analyzed using Nvivo. Nvivo acts as a data management toolkit for such data and broadly supports both qualitative and mixed research methods. Unstructured data sets are typically complex text documents containing information in not any pre-designed manner. Nvivo, developed by QSR International is one application used for:įrom qualitative and unstructured data set (QSR International 2017). Nvivo software is one of the most useful software for qualitative analysis and this article will focus on using the software for qualitative analysis.Ĭollecting data from different sources using Nvivo The systematic and rigorous preparation and analysis of qualitative data is usually time-consuming and labour intensive, making researchers– especially of health care, public administration and such others, switch towards CAQDAS over manual data processing (Zamawe 2015).
