The concepts of “Anger” and “Joy” would exist alongside unrelated concepts such as “Americanism” or “Justice” but might belong to a code group called “Emotion” so they could be retrieved together later. The same structure also works for the codes or concepts in a project. For instance, the interview transcript mentioned above would be in the same “Files” location as all other sources for one’s study, but it might also belong to a group called “Interviews” and a second group called “Site 5” that would allow it to be retrieved along with other group members if needed. You can then organize them by adding them to various groups. In this way, rather than having a file live in a folder, all of your materials exist in the same root location. ( Notably, there are other features in NVivo that include more overlapping membership ideas like Sets, or ways to classify a single item in multiple ways through File or Case Classifications and Attributes, but the point remains that the core structure of materials and concepts stored in NVivo is hierarchical.)Ĭonversely, ATLAS.ti organization is flat. Concepts can continue to be nested lower as well, but each node lives in a single space. Similarly, “nodes” or codes/concepts/tags can have a hierarchical structure of a ‘parent’ concept like “Emotion” containing sub-codes or ‘child’ concepts like “Anger” or “Joy”. For instance, a single interview transcript might be stored in a folder called “Site 5” that exists in a larger folder called “Interviews”. NVivo largely thinks about project organization in a nested, hierarchical fashion: your project files can be organized in folders, and those folders can have sub-folders nested within them, but a file can live in only one such folder. Additionally, NVivo has much wider use across both the College of Liberal Arts and the University of Minnesota at large, hence our individual-installation licensing structure for NVivo.
However, there are a few fundamental differences in the structure of projects and the way those projects are saved. These functions include: organizing materials, facilitating coding and annotation, and then retrieval of coded references for analysis. We’ve hosted NVivo installation files at z.umn.edu/GetNVivoīoth ATLAS.ti and NVivo perform the same basic functions of providing a workbench for qualitative analysis.
#Atlasti cloud license key
NVivo offers a 14 day trial window before a license key is needed to test the software as well. Please reach out to to get access to the license key.
#Atlasti cloud download
In addition to the Remote Desktop, NVivo is available for download and installation on your personal computer (ATLAS.ti is not available for download).
#Atlasti cloud windows
LATIS Research provides access to two of the most popular qualitative analysis software suites: NVivo and ATLAS.ti Both are widely used by academics and cited across the social, behavioral, health and policy sciences.īoth tools can be accessed on the Windows Remote Desktop service, Materials can be directly accessed on the remote desktop through your university Home directory (or H: drive), Shares directory (or S: drive), or via Kumo and your university Google drive space.
