   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.

• Nvivo Help Needed

  My suggestion would be to start with Voyant (https://voyant-tools.org/) and use tools like Document Terms, Contexts, Correlations, and Collocates (and maybe Topics) to see if you can get useful results that way. NVivo definitely has some powerful tools, but it isn't particularly easy to use so unless you need it for something like sentiment analysis, you may be better off using something simpler like Voyant.

• What are affordable tools for self-employed data scientists who work with text?

  I am aware of NetBase Quid and Primer.Ai, but their prices start at tens thousands $$$ a year. Then I know some tools like https://textrazor.com/ but it's too technical and works through an API. https://voyant-tools.org/ is free but not suited to work with survey responses and multiple snippets of data...

• Interesting, short scholarly article by Marta Dyczok that analyzed Zelenskyy's speeches from the first 50 days of the war. Marta was on the CERES @ Munk panel discussing Ze's leadership a couple of months ago.

  I have all 300+ speeches saved in documents and I've plugged them into a text analysis tool. I am absolutely no expert in linguistics or related fields but it produced some interesting results re: what words he uses most, unique words by months, etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• Text Analysis Software

  Hello, I write many essays for classes and like to do research in my spare time. A professor once mentioned this tool: https://voyant-tools.org/, and I loved it since it allows me to gain better insight into my writing or texts I'm reading. I was wondering if there were more tools (preferably free) that I should also try. Source: over 1 year ago
