Qualitative data analysis software

Sites concerned with development and use.

• Department of Sociology - CAQDAS Networking Project
  • This site surveys a range of qualitative software. In addition to a great bibliography, it has links to various developers' sites.
• QSR (Nud*Ist and NVivo) home page.
  • I use this program, so keep info handy.
• Sociological Research Online - Thread on computers in research
  • Probably the most current source of discussions on the pros and cons of qualitative data analysis software.
• Software index for psychology.
  • Recently re-organized site. Ignore the link to "qualitative software," which has a minimal selection, and go the list of software with demos link. Even though there's a lot of stuff that doesn't relate, the overall coverage is more useful. Includes links to sites, pricing, etc.
