What is Qualitative Computing: Using Software for Qualitative Data Analysis (Cardiff Papers in Qualitative Research) about?

vii, 138 pages ; 23 cm, As qualitative researchers incorporate computer assistance into their analytic approaches, important questions arise about the adoption of new technology. Is it worth learning computer-assisted methods? Will the pay-off be sufficient to justify the investment? Which programs are worth learning? What are the effects on the analysis process? This book complements the existing literature by giving a detailed account of the use of four major programs in analyzing the same data. The author emphasizes qualitative analysis as a creative craft, but one which must increasingly be subject to rigorous methodological scrutiny. The adoption of computer-aided methods offers opportunities, but also dangers, and ultimately this book is about the scientific quality of qualitative research. Written in a distinctive and succinct style, this book will be valuable to social science researchers and students interested in qualitative research and in the potential for computer-assisted analysis, Includes bibliographical references (pages 133-138), Self-Renewing 2017
