   A data analysis tool for business, government, and academic research projects

   The use of QDA software in social science research is so common that many people tend to see QDA software as a tool primarily for social science research. However, applications like MAXQDA are invaluable productivity tools for research analysts in industry or government as well.

   Remarkably scalable, MAXQDA employs a database architecture that can handle research projects ranging in size from several dozen pages to tens of thousands of pages. Many projects today involve identifying connections found among information stored in PDF, Powerpoint presentations, Word documents, photos, videos, and audio recordings. MAXQDA allows users to code relevant sections of each document, identify interrelationships among documents, build relationships among diverse sets of documents and identify thematic trends.

   MAXQDA features a simple 4 pane interface that makes it easy to use. The Document System- is where you place documents (text, images, video, or sound files) you want to analyse. The Document Browser is where you view the content of the document. The Coding System shows the various codes that you create and assign to documents. The Retrieved Segments Pane shows search results.

• [R] Qualitative analysis software

  For eg- RQDA is a qualitative data analysis package wherein you could visualise themes etc. Check - https://nsuworks.nova.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2659&context=tqr Https://rqda.r-forge.r-project.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

• [R] Qualitative analysis software

  Because we're on a statistics subreddit, I have to mention there are a handful of packages for doing qualitative work in R - RQDA, Q-Coder, some others - but I would not recommend it if you're not already familiar with R, or at least some programming language. There are graphical interfaces that will serve you well. Source: over 1 year ago

• [Q] Does anyone use R to code qualitative data?

  You might be better off with using something like RQDA: https://rqda.r-forge.r-project.org/. It seems that it hasn’t been updated since 2016, but there might be other alternatives. Source: over 1 year ago
