NVivo is a qualitative data analysis (QDA) computer software package produced by QSR International. NVivo helps qualitative researchers to organize, analyze and find insights in unstructured or qualitative data like interviews, open-ended survey responses, journal articles, social media and web content, where deep levels of analysis on small or large volumes of data are required.[1]
NVivo is used predominantly by academic, government, health and commercialresearchers across a diverse range of fields, including social sciences such as anthropology, psychology, communication, sociology, as well as fields such as forensics, tourism, criminology and marketing.
The first QSR International software product was developed by Tom[citation needed] and Lyn Richards.[2] Originally called NUD*IST, it contained tools for fine and detailed analysis of unstructured textual data. [3] In 1999, the Richards developed the first version of NVivo and eventually N6 was replaced by NVivo 7.
Description[edit]
NVivo is intended to help users organize and analyze non-numerical or unstructured data. The software allows users to classify, sort and arrange information; examine relationships in the data; and combine analysis with linking, shaping, searching and modeling.
The researcher or analyst can identify trends and cross-examine information in a multitude of ways using its search engine and query functions. They can make notes in the software using memos and build a body of evidence to support their case or project.[4]
NVivo accommodates a wide range of research methods, including network and organizational analysis, action or evidence-based research, discourse analysis, grounded theory, conversation analysis, ethnography, literature reviews, phenomenology, mixed methods research and the Framework methodology.[5] NVivo supports data formats such as audio files, videos, digital photos, Word, PDF, spreadsheets, rich text, plain text and web and social media data.[6] Users can interchange data with applications like Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, IBM SPSS Statistics, EndNote, Microsoft OneNote, SurveyMonkey and Evernote.
Users can purchase add-on modules: NVivo Transcription for automated transcriptions, where users can transcribe directly in NVivo (Release 1.0); and NVivo Collaboration Cloud, that uses the cloud to enable small team project sharing and collaboration.
NVivo - Windows is available in English, Chinese (Simplified), French, German and Japanese, Spanish and Portuguese. NVivo - Mac is available in English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish.

- Import and analyze documents, images, PDFs, audio, video, spreadsheets, web pages, and Twitter and Facebook data.
- Work with data in virtually any language.
- Save time by autocoding datasets.
- Organize information using theme, case, and in-vivo coding.
- Review your work with coding stripes and highlighting.
- Import and create editable, synchronized transcripts.
- Keep track of thoughts and ideas with memos and annotations.
- Ask questions of your data using text search, word frequency, coding, and matrix coding queries.
- Visualize and share your data with word tree and word cloud visualizations.

WIDEST DATA SUPPORT
Import, manage and analyze text, audio, video, images and spreadsheets. Additionally,download and use NCapture, a simple browser plugin, to collect social media and web content.NVivo for Mac is the only native Mac qualitative data analysis software that allows you to collect data from both Facebook and Twitter as richdatasets. Soyou can access the online conversations and content about your topic of interest, but also the valuable data behind the comments, like demographics and locations.
KEEP DATA ORGANIZED
Use powerful organization and search tools to keep your data under control. Storing all your information in the one place means you can find what you need quickly and easily.Save time by automatically grouping information based on your set criteria. Store ideas, assumptions and future plans in memos so you canprepare reports faster, and increase transparency and reliability. Useannotations to make notes about information in documents and PDFs as you work, so you don't lose ideas that you want to explore later.
CATEGORIZE AND ANALYZE
Use powerful tools to categorize and classify data.Use coding to bring different themes and topics, or entities like places and people together in a single category, so it's easier tosearch, compareand identify patterns in your data. If you're working with structured datasets, like surveys, take advantage of time-saving auto coding and auto classification functionality.
Keep entities like people and places separate as cases so you can build powerful queries based on attributes like demographic data.
ASK QUESTIONS OF YOUR DATA
Look for emerging themes and discover words and concepts using text search and word frequency queries.
Search for content based on how it's been organized using coding queries. Find all content coded at selected nodes and combine multiple criteria to ask deeper questions. Test ideas, explore patterns and see connections between themes, topics, people and places in your project.
Then if you need to understand how groups differ in their opinions, experiences or behaviour, try a matrix coding query.

VISUALIZE YOUR RESEARCH
Use visualizations to see your data through different lenses and uncover subtle themes, trends and patterns. Use coding stripes and highlightingto review your work. Visually represent words of interest in context, anddiscover new themes, phrases and lines of enquiry using word trees.
Word clouds help you to find key terms across different sources, themes or your whole project.
When you're ready to share your findings, export your visualizations and use them to support the story of your research in reports and presentations.
