What does
atlas.ti do?
What does ATLAS.ti do?Software that facilitates the qualitative analysis of research data. Software that helps making the analysis process:OrganizedTransparentIntegratedGrounded in the evidenceSoftware that facilitates the triangulation of research data collected through multiple methods of data collection, such as:Semi-structured/unstructured interviewsFocus groups
Field notes/observationsArchival research/literature reviews
Photo-voice/photo elicitation methods
Ethnographic videos

background
ATLAS.ti was released commercially in 1993.
The Mac version was released in September 2014.Free iPad and Android applications.The headquarters are in Berlin, Germany.Office for the Americas is located in Corvallis, Oregon, USA. Introduction to ATLAS.ti Mac| Ricardo Contreras4Slide5

Data analysis in qualitative research consists of preparing and organizing the data (i.e., text data as in transcripts, or image data as in photographs) for analysis, then reducing the data into themes through a process of coding and condensing the codes, and finally representing the data in figures, tables, or in
discussion.

Introduction to ATLAS.ti 7 Windows| Ricardo Contreras
Word or short phrase that symbolically assigns a summative, salient, essence-capturing, and/or evocative attribute for a portion of language-based or visual data
(*).
Codes are normally linked to quotations
(but they do not have to be).
Coding can be done manually or automatically.
Codes can be grouped with each other and can be
Represented semantically in network views.Slide12
Objects of the
project:
memosmemos12Analytic memos are somehow comparable to researcher journal entries or blogs-a place to “dump your brain” about the participants, phenomenon, or process under investigation by thinking and thus writing and thus thinking even more about them. (*).Spaces for integration.Memos can be linked to quotations, codesand other memos.
