This session will introduce NVivo to set-up its use to manage the research process. We begin with an overview of the role of NVivo in the research process and an orientation to its capabilities. This includes how NVivo can be used to facilitate a literature review and to analyse qualitative data (e.g. transcripts, visual materials, reports, online content etc) and mixed data (e.g. open and closed survey responses etc). In addition we consider key considerations for planning a computer-assisted analysis and discuss the potential role of AI in the process, and the ethical implications. This session is designed for those who are beginning their research and completely new to NVivo, and will also serve as review and consolidation to those who have already started doing their research and using NVivo.
Christina has been using and teaching qualitative data analysis software packages for over 20 years. She has conducted many different research projects with and without the use of qualitative software and has designed and carried out analysis for many independent organisations. She has taught under- and post-graduate qualitative methods courses in UK and European universities and has contributed to doctoral programmes across several institutions. As well as being director of Qualitative Data Analysis Services Ltd, she is leads and directs the CAQDAS Networking Project at the University of Surrey.

Qualitative Analysis Using NVivo by 
Using Software in Qualitative Research by
"Using Software in Qualitative Research is an essential introduction to the practice and principles of Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS). The book will help you to choose the most appropriate package for your needs and get the most out of the software once you are using it.
This book considers a wide range of tasks and processes in the data management and analysis process, and shows how software can help you at each stage. In the new edition, the authors present three case studies with different forms of data (text, video and mixed data) and show how each step in the analysis process for each project could be supported by software.
The new edition is accompanied by an extensive companion website with step-by-step instructions produced by the software developers themselves. Software programmes covered in second edition include the latest versions of ATLAS.ti, DEDOOSE, HyperRESEARCH, MAXQDA, NVivo, QDA Miner, TRANSANA".
