NVivo is a data analysis program designed for qualitative and mixed methods research. Nvivo is most often used to analyze transcripts from interviews, and survey data from surveys that include some open-ended questions. Nvivo also has tools to support data collection of social media and transcription of audio or video recordings.
Nvivo allows the researcher to uncover patterns across diverse data types, such as spreadsheets, databases, text documents, photographs, audio, video, and webpages.
NVivo helps organize and analyze data. The software allows users to code data — that is, classify, sort, arrange, and count information. There are several manual and automatic coding procedures available.
There are many ways to analyze relationships in the data, and combine analysis with memos, links, searches, queries, and models.
Nvivo has a very useful capture feature that allows users to quickly and easily capture thousands of comments from Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook with the click of a button.
Nvivo works well with spss, excel, word, pdf, surveymonkey, onenote, and even massive sql databases. Nvivo has been used profitably by researchers employing mixed methods, content analysis, network and organizational analysis, action research, discourse analysis, grounded theory, conversation analysis, ethnography, and phenomenology.
Nvivo is available in several languages, and is available for Windows and Mac. Nvivo was first released in 1981. As of 2013, QSR has released the 10th version of Nvivo (Nvivo 10).
Most of the videos below refer to version 9, because the core capabilities and layout are the same between version 9 and 10. Where there are significant differences between version 9 and 10, the updated material for version 10 has been posted.
