![Page 6: Qualitative Analysis in Atlas.ti](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f0bd1a28abba528b6a83/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Whether to use qualitative analysis software:
Reasons to use
• Build complex codes • Test relationships• Handle large data• Good for teams
Reasons not to use
• Cost• Learning curve• Simple or few
interviews

Questions to ask before using software:
* How many interviews, observations, photos, news clippings, or fieldnotes have I collected?
* How in depth does my analysis need to be? * Does my advisor recommend a certain method of coding? * Have I studied a given method of coding or analysis? * Is software likely to help with this method for this project? * Do you need software skills for the job market?

Walkthrough of Atlas.tiINTRODUCTION TO FEATURES AND USES OF ATLAS.TI

Organizing your project Name files descriptively:
2009-06-15_MNG_int1_Aqmaral_CE_v3.txtAqmaral-interview-1.rtf
Consider separate files for each interview / place / data type (“unit of analysis”) Organize in folders on computer / families in Atlas.ti
![Page 14: Qualitative Analysis in Atlas.ti](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f0bd1a28abba528b6a83/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Formatting before import - convert Word files to the more open .rtf format - make all edits and fix typos before coding - remove direct identifiers / add pseudonyms - use special formatting to import Excel survey results

Wayfinding in Atlas.ti software Top row: menus Third row: pop out managers for docs, quotes, codes, memos Left: click to code Center: your document Right: margin view of codes
![Page 16: Qualitative Analysis in Atlas.ti](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f0bd1a28abba528b6a83/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Starting a new project 1) Project -> New Hermeneutic Unit -> Save As 2) Add Documents -> Browse
![Page 17: Qualitative Analysis in Atlas.ti](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f0bd1a28abba528b6a83/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Add characteristics in families / groups
Lets you search documents by gender, age, location, theme Group codes into families or connect memos for analysis
![Page 18: Qualitative Analysis in Atlas.ti](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f0bd1a28abba528b6a83/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Explore the data with quotations
Read and explore each document first Highlight text and select the quotation marks (left sidebar) to create a quotation
Right click to note why the quotation is interesting and add comments
![Page 19: Qualitative Analysis in Atlas.ti](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f0bd1a28abba528b6a83/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Reflection with memosAt the general / project level: Reflect on your thought and analysis process Note issues and your decisions Capture ideas to follow up onDocuments, codes, quotations: Reflect on a passage or idea
![Page 20: Qualitative Analysis in Atlas.ti](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f0bd1a28abba528b6a83/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Think before coding Read over the text first 1) Define scope of your research, and focus on that Code for pre-existing concepts that relate to your argument
2) Let themes emerge from the data Code for a few core topics first
One concept, one code (impact-of-family-size-in-Africa?)

Mechanics of coding Add new codes to code manager Highlight text and right-click to create a code Click and drag from code manager (left side pop-out)

Preliminary Analysis ToolsCo-occurrence table
• Relationships between two codes
• Strength of relationship + counts
Codes - primary document table
• Relationship between codes & documents
• Distribution of codes across documents

Exploring relationships with Queries Look at quotations in relation to multiple codes
◦ sleep OR eat (broadens)◦ sleep AND eat (narrows)◦ sleep NOT eat◦ friend WITHIN childhood◦ sleep FOLLOWS eat
Use Scope to search only some documents Save resulting quotations under new Super Code

View and save your outputsAtlas.ti is not open source; it’s important to archive to open formats!
•Export code list and code hierarchy for project archiving•Export quotations from query results to .rtf for analysis•Export coded primary documents to PDF for archiving
