Welcome to the online resources pages for Qualitative Data Analysis with NVivo, 2nd edition. This companion website provides you with some additional resources to assist you as you learn about the tools provided by NVivo and apply them to your data. Qualitative Data Analysis with NVivo is designed for researchers who have qualitative data and want to use NVivo to manage and analyse it. The chapters in the book walk you through the processes involved in undertaking a project with the assistance of NVivo, as you prepare, code, link, memo, sort, compare, and query your data. This second edition contains new chapters on handling a literature review, visualizing data, working in mixed-methods and social media datasets, and approaching NVivo as a team. Essential instructions are provided in a context that explains their use, with multiple examples, tips, and warnings based on the extensive practical experience of the authors in undertaking analyses and in using and teaching the software. We blend the basics of qualitative methods with a computer manual in order to help you more elegantly engage in qualitative methods using NVivo. For a guide to more detailed and advanced issues in qualitative methods see: Pat Bazeley, Qualitative Data Analysis: Practical Strategies (SAGE, 2013).
