Research. Relate. Realize
QSR NVivo 7Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International
This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a projectin NVivo 7, and the processes supported. It is designed toaccompany demonstration of the software.

Why NVivo Seven?
• Totally new & redesigned software– So not just NVivo three
• Updates NVivo 2 and the NUD*IST line (N6)– So it’s seven
• Designed for the future, not a re-vamp of past versions, styles and approaches– Early adopter of new technologies– Ready for new 3-D “Longhorn” OS– Annual major upgrades from now on
• Free for site licences and maintenance agreements

So what’s it look like?
Familiar?
Orderly?
Normal?
It’s meant to!
And…
Manageable!
Customize it, to suit your style.

New Screen Layout
Navigation Bar with Group
Buttons
Each project part has its own folder
(you can create your own to order items)
Projects
Simple navigation, Microsoft Outlook style, between the main parts of a project

Project Security and Integrity
• All data in a project, including all Sources, are kept in a single securely encrypted database file.
• So porting and backing up is trivial.
• No chance of others tampering with documents, no need for insecure doc file update log files…
• In fact, absolute project database integrity, even through computer crashes.

So a project will look like this
Examples that follow use the Sample Project that ships with the software…
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ Documents\NVivo 7 Samples

What are your data sources?
Sources comprise Documents,
Externals and Memos
Plus folders you create
Make a new document and edit in NVivo
Sources
or import straight from
Word
![Page 9: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Use Externals to bring other data in
• Create and link to external files
• Format for coding
• Edit to include any illustrations or links to tape segments etc.
![Page 10: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

And your concepts and ideas?
Nodes – five sorts of containers for categories and coding1. Free Nodes (unordered)
2. Tree Nodes (for category/subcategory cataloguing)
3. Cases (for interviewees, people, places etc.)
Represent people, places, topics, concepts - entities4. NVivo 7 introduces a thoroughly new sort of node:
Relationships Not representing entities, but making statements.
5. And the final sort of node? Matrices (tables of qualitative crosstabs, in which the data for each cell is coded at a node.)
Nodes and Coding
![Page 11: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
First - free and tree nodes
Create them “down” from design or “up” from the data.
Nodes and Coding
Cut, copy, merge, paste to design the node system, using trees to catalog ideas
![Page 12: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Coding at nodes
Code by drag and drop or many rapid methods

Viewing coding at nodes
View coding in live stripes on source or node content
Nodes and Coding
![Page 14: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Cases – to hold what you know
• In your study, what is a case? – Make a case node and
code all material it. – Auto-coding does this
• Cases can have values of attributes– Attributes store information
about those people, places, organizations…
Nodes and Coding
![Page 15: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Attributes - of Cases
• Attributes (like Gender) are properties you create for Cases
• View as tables (“Casebooks”) of Case Nodes versus Attributes
• Assign a value for the Attribute to each Case Node
• Casebooks can be imported and exported, e.g. to Excel™ or SPSS™
Classifications
![Page 16: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Relationships – making statements
• A relationship joins two Project Items
• A relationship makes a statement:– ‘volunteering requires time’– ‘family values encourage motivation to volunteer’
• Code the relationship with the evidence for the statement it makes
Nodes and Coding
![Page 17: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
What’s so new about Relationships?
• Relationships can be (and can code evidence for)– Descriptions, analytical claims, hypotheses, properties of
things, etc.
• Display them in networks or groups in the Modeler– Complex theories, event & process nets, structures and
organizations
Nodes and Coding
![Page 18: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Sets are more flexible
• Sets can now contain a mixture of Sources and Nodes (including Case Nodes).
• Use them for temporary and changing collections e.g. ‘To review’
• Use them as scopes for Query searches
• Collect them as outputs of Queries (for further study and Querying) e.g. ‘Women who report excellent marriages’
Sets
![Page 19: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
And links come in three sorts
Three types of links
1. Annotations are similar to comments in MS Word™– Can list & inspect them globally– Can optionally be text-searched
2. See-Also Links• to any Sources or Nodes or other project item• or to any passage in any Source
3. Memo Links• any Source or Node can have its own Linked
Memo.
Links

Find - locates Project Items
• Look for them by name
• The Advanced Find option can handle complex criteria for finding project items
The Find Tool
![Page 21: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Query – in plain language
• Queries are ways of locating specific content
• Queries can be saved for future use– Re-run them later when data have changed – command
files effect– Edit them to make a similar but different search– Four sorts of query – text, coding, matrix and compound.
Query
![Page 22: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Many options for Query resultsQuery
What to do with the results? If you just
preview, you can go on to save as a
node, etc.
Including some context with finds
(spreading) can be a good idea, especially
for text search
![Page 24: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
The hidden power of Text Search
Read Help on Text Search Queries to learn about the hidden power of Text Search:– Items with finds are listed with a relevance
weighting– Boolean search: e.g. for items containing
“social interaction” but not “community”.– Use wildcards * and ? (like in Word™)– Proximity (how close do you want “fear” and
“threat” to be in a search item?)– What weighting do you want to give different
words?
![Page 25: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Coding Query: Simple & Advanced
• “Simple” looks for coding of one node in the search scope.
• “Advanced” allows the statement of many criteria in a natural English way.
Query

Matrix Queries – see it in tables
• Choose the rows for the table…
• Then the columns…
• Then how rows and columns are related in cells…
• Then Run to make the table
Query
![Page 27: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
The result is a Matrix that’s live
• Show counts of Sources, words…
• Inspect a cell’s content – it’s a Node
• Export numerical table as Excel or tab-separated file
• Good one? Store as Matrix Node for future use.

• Converts them to NVivo 7 projects
Option to make Cases of all Documents (since Cases are more central in NVIVO 7)
Merging Projects
![Page 33: Research. Relate. Realize QSR NVivo 7 Lyn and Tom Richards, founders, QSR International This is a very brief overview of the main parts of a project in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5519b58b5503465b578b4796/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Multiple Projects
• Run multiple projects together
• Copy/paste content between projects
• Project merging is done by import of one project into another – and you can import just the structure (e.g. all nodes but no content) or the entire project.
