    Summary

    hiccups getting into the method used, but there is resources available on the web to guide you on that. Does what it says it does pretty well, allows a quantitative addition to a qualitative analysis.

    Positive

    Gives a clear, reproducible setup but allows flexibility for your deductive, inductive and summarizing needs. Multiple overlapping markings can be made, the exported information can be exported as csv containing 1. a series of text strings + category + document; 2. the number of or binary is or is not mentioned the set categories and 3. the the category rules themselves. this data can be refined outside the tool from there.

    Multiple documents can be added to a project in which multiple research questions with different methods can be set up. Reliability within one tester and across testers can be tested to further added to allow for intersubjective claims.

    The view for marking in the text is easy to use and highlights passages not in the text but as bars on the side, so the text does not get obfuscated.

    Negative

    The categories of any given question must strictly be deductive XOR inductive. keep this in mind before putting together the questions and categories.

    Sessions can be a bit short, which then forces you to re-login and clicking back to your project.
