1. WORKING WITH NVIVO Kristoffer Greaves - Doctoral Researcher - Deakin University

2. ABOUT ME

3. PARTICULARS  what is NVivo?  organise research (inc. classifications and attributes)  review literature (inc. Endnote)  undertake framework matrices and cluster analyses  produce memos - text and visualisations for writing up  explicit and emergent coding approaches

4. WHAT IS NVIVO?  Computer Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Software  "CAQDAS"  There are other suppliers, some are free, e.g. TAMS  Download from Deakin Software Support  Deakin sometimes funds training (recommended)  Full functionality on Windows  Less functionality on Mac at this stage (*sigh*)  Basically a database with powerful qualitative analysis tools

5. PAUSE... A METHODOLOGICAL MOMENT  CAQDAS a computational, nominalising operation  Counter-intuitive for some qualitative researchers  Certeau: computational activities "freeze" object, discursive operation of "scientific" "validity" (Heterologies)  Kristoffer: computational activities also enabling, emancipatory, and part of everyday life (so ignoring them "others" them)  Use reflexivity and Certeau's "heterological science" to examine how you use CAQDAS  CAQDAS not a substitute for intellectual engagement and skill

10. ORGANISE: SOURCES IN FOLDERS

11. DESIGN FRAMEWORK

12. ORGANISE: SOURCE CLASSIFICATIONS

13. ORGANISE: ATTRIBUTES FOR CLASSIFICATIONS

14. LIT REVIEW WITH ENDNOTE  Select references in Endnote  Export as XML file  Import into NVivo as Other Source  PDFs go into Sources folder  Notes imported as Memos  Consider coding PDFs as ‘Case Nodes’

15. SELECT SOURCES

16. CLICK FILE CLICK “SAVE AS” NAME THE FILE SAVE AS XML OUTPUT STYLE: ENDNOTE EXPORT CHECK ‘EXPORT SELECTED REFERENCES’ SAVE TO DESKTOP

18. Nvivo EXTERNAL DATA TAB FROM OTHER SOURCES FROM ENDNOTE

19. CHOOSE XML FILE

20. CHOOSE TO ORGANISE BY TITLE OR AUTHOR

21. TAKES TIME TO IMPORT!

22. PDFs IMPORTED INTO INTERNAL SOURCES FOLDER NOTES FROM CITATION MANAGER IMPORTED INTO MEMOs FOLDER

23. CODE SOURCES AS “CASE NODES”  Select the sources >  Go to Create tab >  Items > Create as Case Nodes >  Select save locate etc

24. CLICK ‘CREATE AS CASE NODES’

25. CONFIRM LOCATION FOR CASE NODES IN NODES FOLDER

26. SOURCES NOW CODED AS CASE NODES IN NODES FOLDER

27. CODING FOR LITERATURE REVIEW EXPLICIT OR EMERGENT?  Explicit – pre-define concepts for coding (create your own codebook), then create nodes for those concepts  Emergent – coding “in-vivo” – creating concepts as they emerge from the source  Kelle: “theoretical sensitivity” a way of reconciling both approaches  For me: usually explicit approach for Literature Review  In a hurry? Try text searching and saving results as a node….

28. TEXT SEARCH – GO TO QUERY TAB – CLICK ON “TEXT SEARCH” CHECK “ADD TO PROJECT” NAME THE SEARCH

29. SELEC T SEARCH TERMS SELECT SOURCES TO SEARCH SELECT “CREATE RESULTS AS NEW NODE” + “NARROW CONTEXT”

30. SEARCH RESULTS IN REFERENCE VIEW SEARCH RESULTS IN PDF VIEW

31. RESULTS SAVED IN QUERIES FOLDER CAN CREATE THEME NODE FROM THE SEARCH RESULT

32. TEXT SEARCH RESULT CODING A THEME NODE “IN VIVO” FROM RESULT

33. FRAMEWORK MATRICES COMPARE AUTHORS AND THEMES  Choose Create Tab  Click “Framework Matrix”, then Name it  Choose Case Nodes for Rows  Choose Theme Nodes for Columns  Empty table appears  Choose Analyze Tab  Click “Autoanalyze”  Table cells populated by Case rows and Theme columns  Can “code on” and edit text in cells, but consider exporting as Excel spreadsheet

34. CHOOSE CREATE TAB CLICK ON FRAMEWORK MATRIX NAME THE FRAMEWORK MATRIX CHOOSE CASE NODES FOR ROWS

35. CASE NODES SELECTED FOR ROWS CHOOSE THEME NODES FOR COLUMNS CHOSEN THEME NODES

36. CLICK AUTOSUMMARIZE AUTOSUMMARIZE FILLS COLUMNS WITH TEXT CODED TO THEME BY CASES IN ROWS CAN “CODE ON” IN CELLS

37. MATRIX CODING QUERIES – COMPARE CODES, ATTRIBUTES ETC  Go to Query Tab  Click Matrix Coding  Select “Add to Project”  Select Items you want to compare in Rows and Columns then Run  Produces data table and charts  Example – “Yes/No” responses compared to child themes

38. GO TO QUERY TAB CLICK “MATRIX CODING” NAME THE QUERY

39. SELECT ROW NODES SELECT COLUMN NODES

40. SELECT SEARCH CRITERIA SELECT “CREATE RESULTS AS NEW NODE MATRIX” THEN “RUN”

41. NODE MATRIX TABLE CHARTS
