I have no idea if R is something that applies to this, but we’re using it exclusively for an upcoming management data analysis course. It’s free and works on Mac. Answer from catsrule-humansdrool on reddit.com

r/GradSchool on Reddit: What is your favourite free qualitative data analysis software?
January 3, 2022 -

I have been trying to shop around, but it seems like the most popular one doesn't work on mac, and I'm worried about not being able to effectively back up my data with some of the options I've seen.

My situation is that I'm writing ethnographic fieldnotes, so I want to have the ability to make discrete entries, but ideally also the option to code them.

I am also open to suggestions for free software/websites that would be useful for essentially making diary entries, which can easily be flipped through, and later inputted into maxqda when I eventually shell out for a license.

I may just end up using google docs, but it's very frustrating that my university doesn't provide licenses for this stuff. If you have any advice on how to get my university to pay for it that's also helpful!

Hi there,

I'm currently doing my dissertation and am running 4 focus groups as part of my research. Just wondering what free qualitative analysis software you'd recommend? Also if there's an easier way to do transcribing, I'm currently using Google speech to text and repeating what is said while listening.

In terms of the research type I'm using template analysis (thematic)

Thank you!

Is there any tool that scientists without programming skills can use for qualitative data analysis of larger datasets (e.g. computer assisted thematic coding) leveraging retrieval augmented generative AI?

Issue is, I myself know how to program this in code, but I am working with colleagues who have no programming skills at all, and I would like to empower them so they can analyze their data without my help.

Hi!

I'm hoping to get my team to incorporate some qualitative coding/content analysis with our all-hands thematic analysis. My thinking is that using a software to help us code systematically across all data will minimize bias and help validate our insights. 1) what software do you use, if at all? I'm familiar with ATLAS.ti but was wondering if there is an industry-preferred option. But also, I've run into a bit of resistance from the other (junior) researcher on staff about incorporating such software. 2) If you do not use a software, what are your reasons for going 'analog' or what are your opinions against such software?

Thanks again! :)

I am at a point in my research for my masters diss where I need to collate and code a couple hundred tweets. I know that MAXQDA used to have a function where you could import directly from twitter but this doesn't function anymore. Does anyone know of a similar software that has this function that currently works?

Tweets would be from all public and verified accounts and would stretch back to jan 2024.

Looking to analyze 100 interviews. I know I need a software to organize all this information. I am not with a University but this is a very dense project... Any folks have recommendations? I don't think my boss wants to pay more than $50 for two people a month. I need a software that allows for two users as I will be collaborating with another person to both analyze the codes as well.

A "lite" version of the proprietary software, QDA Miner Lite has a slightly limited functionality. You can still perform the basic functions of the full version but don't have some of the more advanced options. You can see all the differences in the side by side comparison.
