A little about myself. I have worked as a qualitative researcher for close to 20 years. I have trained people in how to use #NVivo for over a decade, and now other qualitative software like #Quirkos.

I teach and support people on how to do qualitative research, with a special focus on qualitative analysis.

The focus is not on following on a formula, but understanding what is the best approach for the researchers and the research. No two projects are ever the same.

I frequently use #MaxQDA (and previously #NVivo) at work. In smaller projects, I used #f4analyse and #RQDA. Besides RQDA, I just tested some other #opensource #QDA-software:

These cross-platform (incl. #Linux) #FLOSS packages seemed to be generally suitable for my purpose (social science research): #QualCoder, #Taguette, #CATMA, #Cassandre. RQDA is outdated (some new git commits).

Proprietary cross-platform packages that seemed to be generally suitable: f4analyze, #Quirkos, #Dedoose.
