What Is It?

NVivo is a qualitative analysis software package that supports both qualitative and mixed methods research. It lets you collect, organize, and analyze content from interviews, focus groups, discussions, surveys, documents, audio and visual files, images, social media data, web pages, and spreadsheets. It also offers multiple ways to visualize and report data, including graphs, charts and cluster analysis. Within the program, one can search all or parts of the data, sort data based on variable attributes or classifications, and display a matrix of codes or coding structures. Video and audio files can be transcribed and analyzed within the program. It also interfaces with EndNote, Mendeley, and Zotero for conducting a paperless literature review.
