Utilizing Qualitative Data Analysis Software: A Review of Atlas.ti

Hwang, Sungsoo·2008·Social Science Computer Review

Abstract

Atlas.ti is qualitative data analysis (QDA) software, and its recent version 5.2.12 is now more user friendly as a Windows-based application. Atlas.ti provides some very useful tools in academic research, particularly for social science disciplines. This review offers a case study of utilizing a QDA software package, with two examples of research presented to show how to utilize Atlas.ti. This will serve as a practical guide for qualitative researchers who are beginning to use the QDA software Atlas.ti.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Simpler approaches such as word processing software or spreadsheets can be used to develop a code list but do not have the sophisticated functionality of many CAQDAS that allow linking between codes, visualizing codes, developing sub-codes, writing memos, and linking those memos.

    “While these simpler approaches can be used to develop a code list, they do not have the sophisticated functionality of many CAQDAS that allow linking between codes, visualizing of codes, developing sub-codes, writing memos, and linking those memos. 32,33”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
