NVivo

 

NVivo is a qualitative data analysis (QDA) computer software package produced by QSR International. It has been designed for qualitative researchers working with very rich text-based and/or multimedia information, where deep levels of analysis on small or large volumes of data are required.

OSU maintains a pool of 30 concurrent use licenses for use in labs and Citrix. Individual licenses will need to be purchased from the OnTheHub eStore or directly from QSR (if transcription, collaboration cloud, or the latest version of NVivo, you will need to purchase direct from QSR).
