Don't Let the Software Drive the Process
Webinar on using the Five-Level QDA method for producing high-quality data analysis with ATLAS.ti - published as part of the IIQM ATLAS.ti webinar series.
Books published - Qualitative Analysis with the Five-Level QDA Method
"At last, 3 user friendly books that bridge the gap between the researcher's methodological goals and the capabilities of the software package.
These books, targeted towards your particular software program, will assist you in maintaining / protecting the integrity of the methodological aspects of a study.
Rather than enabling the software capabilities to drive the analytic process, they will assist you to take full advantage of the power that the software has to offer."
