Using Visualizations for analyzing qualitative data

Visualizations are often used to communicate the results of analysis. However, they can also be used as analytical tools to generate insights about the data. This webinar will focus on how the various visualization tools in NVivo can be used to explore your data. In a literature review, clustering by word similarity can be used to identify articles that use similar words which could direct your reading strategy by comparing similar articles. Sociograms can be used to identify groups of authors who write together as well as articles which are cited most. Analysis of interviews can be enhanced by the use of comparison diagrams that will visualize differences in coding between two interviews or two organizations. These are just a few examples of how visualizations can help with the analysis process.
