There will always be some researchers who conduct superficial analyses that are lacking in rigour and depth, whatever their tools.Ģ.5 I have more sympathy with Mason's (1996) concern. Technology does not increase this likelihood. It may be possible to produce analysis using this superficial brush with the data but it is unlikely to yield a quality analysis. However this strategy is equally possible for those that use index cards, scissors and photocopies or word processor cut and paste functions. After that, they could just read snippets of data that have been coded under each category to develop a final analysis, without ever returning to the full contextualised data. In the worst case, it is possible that a researcher could only read the data in context during the process of initial coding (a prerequisite of any coding). Continuing analysis relies on the necessity of re-reading data both in complete transcripts/fieldnotes and in categorised chunks, over and over again, to develop an analysis with any depth. ![]() Those who have tried the software have realised that it is not possible to analyse your data without reading and being familiar with it first. Pros and Cons of Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis SoftwareĢ.3 Those who express this concern have often not used CAQDAS. During this time I have run several training workshops on Nudist and Atlas/ti, for other researchers (eg. Firstly I used it in education, and now I am using it in health research. My final claim to knowledge in this area comes from three years using Nudist. I worked as the researcher on the Information Access project, an ethnographic case study of 18 academics and their take up of technology over a three year period (Barry and Squires, 1995 Squires et al, 1995). I speak with some knowledge of how academics feel about the move to technology. I speak as an ex- technophobe who has come to appreciate how technology can help me do my job better, faster and more creatively. I have no axe to grind, unlike may articles on this subject that have been written by the software developers.
