Abstract
There are many Computer Assisted Qualitative Data AnalysiS (CAQDAS) packages. Most are powerful tools supporting the range of qualitative analytic techniques. QDA Miner (http://www.provalisresearch.com/) is one of a suite designed by Provalis Research for textual and image analysis. In its own right QDA Miner is a sophisticated package for conducting robust code-based analysis; when integrated with WordStat and SimStat, possibilities for conducting mixed analyses of mixed data are greatly extended. Provalis Research’s tools in most respects equal others’ in supporting code-based qualitative analysis but outstrip those for quantitative,mixed, and statistical analysis. This review highlights QDA Miner’s distinguishing features and summarizes functions of its concurrent use with WordStat and SimStat that make it a particularly good choice for mixed methods analysis.
