Qualitative analysis using ATLAS.ti: the five-level QDA method

Software is cut-and-dried - every button you press has a predictable effect - but qualitative analysis is open-ended and unfolds in unpredictable ways.

The Five-Level QDA method unpacks the process so that you can learn it consciously and efficiently.

The first part of the book explains how the contradiction between analytic strategies and software tactics is reconciled by 'translating' between them.

The second part provides both an in-depth description of how ATLAS.ti works and comprehensive instruction in the five steps of 'translation'.

The third part contains real-world qualitative research projects from a variety of disciplines, methodologies, and kinds of qualitative analysis, all illustrated in ATLAS.ti using the Five-Level QDA method.
