![]() If you don’t need to find specific intersections you can also view individual nodes: You can also look at the intersection of two nodes in the same way. This of course takes a fair amount of organisation, but it helps me to easily find intersections of different categories. I can double click on this and view the three times I have coded this and it looks like: This is useful to me if I want to write about literature on volunteer tourists discuss their host communities. If we look at the yellow box, we can see I have coded ‘Images of Africa’ three times in a reference that has the attribute ‘volunteer tourist’. The intersections of these show the number of times these have been coded together. The row across the top shows the ‘attributes’. ![]() In the left column you can see some nodes I chose to display for this example. The most important reason for doing this is it allows me to do a ‘Matrix Coding Inquiry’ which I will now show you an example of output: These will import from Endnote (some of them). This is called a ‘file classification’ in the Nvivo 12 for Windows.Īs you can see, my source classification has a title: ‘Reference’ and different attributes listed below. To do this I use the ‘source’ classification available in Nvivo. I think this is the most efficient method.Īssigning classifications to the referencesĪs mentioned above, I originally wanted quick access to both sorting and finding quotes. ![]() My technique is to enter an article into EndNote, then manually import it into Nvivo. This will allow me to keep these nodes seperate from my data collection later.Īt first, I was unsure of how to keep this current. I code all of my articles using nodes kept in my ‘literature review’ folder. If you already have a significant EndNote library you can import this, which is what I originally did. This is a quick shot of what it looks like. In Nvivo 12 (Windows) I think the ‘internals’ folder is simply called ‘Files’. I name each one with the authors name and year. Throughout the post below I have tried to provide the alternate names for the Nvivo 12 (Windows).įirstly, I import my articles under the ‘internals’ sources and into a folder called ‘articles’. Although they have similar features, I know the Windows version might look different and has extra features. The next section will require some knowledge of Nvivo and will contain screenshots of Nvivo 11 for Mac. I know this could probably be done in excel, but I couldn’t quickly access my quotes while searching for the above criteria (well, at least with my limited knowledge of excel). I also wanted a way of looking at how the methods intersected, along with the theoretical frameworks. My research focuses on tourism and I wanted a method for sorting my articles (quickly) into: tourist, organisations, volunteers, and host communities. Nvivo allows me to categorise quotes under multiple ‘nodes’. I personally didn’t like this method, as I felt I couldn’t search and categorise things the way I wanted. The next reason I decided to use Nvivo was I had no method for organising my quotes that I liked, beyond a spreadsheet and a word document. ![]() This actually had the unintended result of allowing myself to confidently say ‘Yes! I can do that!’ when offered Research Assistant work that would involve using Nvivo. I decided this would be a fantastic, low pressure, method for familarising myself with the program. At the time, I had no experience with Nvivo, I thought how am I going to get practise with no data? Some how along the way, I discovered that some people use it for their literature review. I was reading about data analysis for my confirmation document and every book suggested familiarising yourself with the program you would use. Secondly, I wish I had started this sooner! Firstly, Nvivo doesn’t take out all of the leg work of doing a literature review, for me it is an organisational tool. Recently, I decided to use Nvivo for my literature review.
