Tame your data – go wild with your research

Your central workspace in ATLAS.ti is the Hermeneutic Unit Editor. Think of it as a container for your project. The Hermeneutic Unit Editor organizes all the primary documents (e. g. text, graphical, audio and video materials, PDFs, GoogleEarth™ geo-data) that you wish to analyze.

Access to all project components – primary documents, quotations, codes, memos, and networks – is fast and comfortable. ATLAS.ti’s structure is logical, its handling is intuitive: activate specialized manager windows whenever you need increased control. Drag codes from the Code Manager onto a selected piece of data for smooth coding. Use Object Managers, the Object Explorer and the Co-occurrence Explorer to browse and navigate your project data. As you go along, you can visualize your findings and interpretations in a digital mind map.

Get to know your data inside out. Use any combination of ATLAS.ti tools to explore your research materials. The Network Editor, the Text Search Tool, the Auto Coder, the Object Crawler, the Word Cruncher and the Query Tool – these will help you discover the «texture» of your data, its hidden connections and embedded meanings.

With ATLAS.ti, you’re free to do what you love: experiment with research methods, stick with one path, or turn some corners. So follow your research instincts wherever they may take you.

«I never attended a training and I am pretty clueless when it comes to technology, but the tu-torial and user guidebook were enough to get me started. People ask me how I got done so fast, and I tell them, ATLAS.ti».Lois MacNamara, Assistant Dean for

Student Affairs, Graduate School of

Education, University of Pennsylvania

Does your project require more than one brain? No problem! Our software is designed for teamwork as well as solitary analysis. To begin with, ATLAS.ti assigns explicit ownership to every piece of data you create or analyze. Dedicated tools, such as the User Administration tool and the HU Merger, make collaboration a breeze. And HTML / XML generators and the XSLT converter let you publish and exchange your material online.

These and other state-of-the-art tools help research teams streamline their work and produce serious results. With ATLAS.ti, you’re never alone – unless you want to be.

Lone riders and research gangs – welcome to ATLAS.ti

«Beyond any data complexity the epistemological primitives relations drive me to improve my creativity skills to analyze them. Its interactive potentiality with other useful software is constantly increasing the scope of my questions.»Cesar A. Cisneros Puebla, International

ATLAS.ti workspaces – a sneak peek

Hermeneutic Unit Editor.This is ATLAS.ti’s main workspace. Here, a PDF document is displayed with associated codes, memos and hyperlinks in the margin area. A list of codes floats in the foreground.

Analyzing Multimedia.It’s easy to code images, audio and video. Note the inverse display of the selected data segment above. (By the way, this is New York’s Central Park West.)

Network editor.The Network Editor displays complex relations between codes, quotes, memos and other entities. It’s the ideal workspace to build models and theories from your findings.

Object Crawler.The Object Crawler searches your data for all objects matching a search pattern.

Code Manager.The Code Manager is a convenient and frequently used tool from the ATLAS.ti workbench. The optional auto color mode visualizes the groundedness and theoretical relevance of a code.

Query Tool.For powerful queries on coded data, the Query Tool is your first choice. Boolean, proximity and semantic operators can be freely combined.

An overview of selected featuresStrong reasons why ATLAS.ti is today’s premier QDA tool

«Using the software to code and analyze the data greatly simplified a difficult task, provided the means to compare among disciplines, and to draw conclusions based on trends and themes in the data. I still have a lot to learn about using ATLAS.ti, but even as a novice user, the software was of enormous help.» Carole A. George, Carnegie Mellon

University Libraries

ATLAS.ti can directly access database systems. With QUESSY.ti, a server- based add-on application from the growing ATLAS.ti product family, you can now search full-fledged SQL databases, retrieve plain content, documents, and multimedia files that match your criteria, sort and pre-process the results online, and import them into ATLAS.ti for detailed analysis.

QUESSY.ti currently supports Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL, and MS Access.

Together, ATLAS.ti and QUESSY.ti combine Data Mining and Qualitative Data Analysis in one formidable tool, thus opening completely new horizons in knowledge management.

«ATLAS.ti never pushes you to take one analytic path over another, so every project turns out quite differently, which is just as it should be. I love how you stay so close to the data at every little analytic step, and how you can work and analyze directly from the visual networks – which is the only tool I have ever found to actually speed up qualitative analysis.»Nicholas Woolf, Woolf Consulting,

Santa Barbara

ATLAS.ti was developed at the Technical University of Berlin as early as 1989. In 1993, Thomas Muhr released the first commercial version, marking the beginnings of Scientific Software Development – now ATLAS.ti GmbH. Hailed by such luminaries as renowned sociologist Anselm Strauss (who wrote the foreword to the software manual), ATLAS.ti quickly established itself as the de-facto standard QDA application.

Since then, we have stayed true to our principles of solid engineering, innovation and uncompromising dedication to quality. We remain on the cutting edge by working closely with practitioners, researchers and consultants all over the globe. And, as the world’s longest-running QDA software company, we have laid rock-solid foundations that guarantee our product’s reliability and quality for years to come – that’s what our hundreds of thousands of users worldwide have come to trust and appreciate.

And because ATLAS.ti supports open standards such as XML, your data will be usable far into the future. Our mission is to give you the performance, the quality, and the flexibility you need to support the way you work. Novices and advanced users in all research areas get powerful results with ATLAS.ti – the only true Knowledge Workbench.

«New users can get started with minimal software training. When using a team-based approach, ATLAS.ti ably facilitates data management and analysis. A great product and unsurpassed support.» Douglas Fernald, University of Colorado
