Qualitative Analysis Using ATLAS.ti

The Five-Level QDA™ Method
Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Qualitative Analysis Using ATLAS.ti addresses the challenge of conducting qualitative analysis with software that is fundamentally procedural by nature. The authors introduce the Five-Level QDA® method, which separates analytic strategies from software tactics, enabling users to approach qualitative analysis systematically and consciously. The book is structured in three parts: it first reconciles analytic strategies and software tactics through a process called "translation," then provides detailed instructions and examples using ATLAS.ti (primarily Version 8), and finally presents real-world qualitative research projects across various disciplines demonstrating the method in action. Accompanied by video demonstrations, this work serves as an expert guide for mastering ATLAS.ti and qualitative data analysis.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Software is cut-and-dried – every button you press has a predictable effect – but qualitative analysis is open-ended and unfolds in unpredictable ways. This contradiction is best resolved by separating analytic strategies – what you plan to do – from software tactics – how you plan to do it. Expert ATLAS.ti users have unconsciously learned to do this. 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". These steps are illustrated with examples from a variety of research projects. 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. The book is accompanied by three sets of video demonstrations on the Companion Website. While this book uses screenshots from the current ATLAS.ti Version 8, it is still fully applicable to users of older versions.

The book and accompanying videos illustrate the Windows version of ATLAS.ti. As there are some differences in screen and interface design between the Mac and Windows versions, please watch the video 'The ATLAS.ti Mac Interface' in the Component Orientation series of videos (available September 2017).

The Five-Level QDA method is based on the authors’ combined 40 years of experience teaching ATLAS.ti and other software packages used as platforms for conducting qualitative analysis. After many years observing their students’ challenges, they developed the Five-Level QDA method to describe the process that long-time ATLAS.ti experts unconsciously adopt. The Five-Level QDA method is independent of software program or methodology, and the principles apply to any type of qualitative project.
