This paper presents evidence from a user of a computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) referred to as ATLAS.ti on its usefulness and challenges in the content analysis of corporate annual reports (CARs) of top South African companies. The paper illustrates how ATLAS.ti was employed to perform the content analysis of 60 corporate annual reports to determine the extent of human capital disclosures by the top South African companies. Useful reports generated from the “hermeneutic unit” known as “AdePhD” include the primary document list, the code list, the code families, the code summary, the code-primary document list, the codequotation list, and the network views. The reports from this qualitative analysis software facilitated the observations on the frequency of ninety-one human capital disclosure items analyzed from the corporate annual reports of companies in our sample. Findings indicate that the use of ATLAS.ti enabled a faster and robust analysis that would have taken a much longer time if done manually. It also facilitated more coherent results. Nevertheless, the major challenge is the lack of adequate institutional support for users when compared with the level of institutional support available for quantitative data analysis software such as the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).

This research explores the qualitative researchers’ perceptions of computer assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) through content analysis of blogs. The purpose of this exploratory work is to understand the existing relationships that scholars have with CAQDAS, and how the use of these tools promotes or hinders engagement during the research process.Au moyen d’une analyse de contenu de blogues, cette recherche explore les perceptions qu’ont les chercheurs qui emploient des techniques qualitatives à l’égard d’un logiciel (CAQDAS) d’analyse de données qualitatives assistée par ordinateur. L’objectif de cette phase exploratoire est de comprendre la relation existante entre les chercheurs et CAQDAS et comment l’utilisation de ce type d’outils engendre ou empêche l’engagement durant le processus de recherche.

<p>In this article, I provide a typology of transition words/phrases. This typology comprises 12 dimensions of link words/phrases that capture 277 link words/phrases. Using QDA Miner, WordStat, and SPSS—a computer-assisted mixed methods data analysis software, content analysis software, and statistical software, respectively—I analyzed 74 manuscripts that were submitted to the journal <em>Research in the Schools</em> over a 2-year period (<em>i.e.</em>, 2014-2015). Among other results, these analyses revealed the most common link words/phrases and the most common dimensions of link words/phrases, as well as the dimensions that best predicted whether or not a manuscript was rejected by the editor.<strong> </strong></p>

This research aims to identify the Malay principal form in the roof decorative elements of Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak (RLBP). Through site observation, the data is collected in the form of images and analysed using the CAQDAS (Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software) of Atlas Ti. 8. The findings of the research found that there are four Malay principal forms; Gunungan, Buah Guntung, Lebah Bergantung and Pohon Beringin present in the roof decorative elements of RLBP. The similarity and uniformity in the engagement of the form and its meaning is identifiable with the traditional houses of the other region which indicates a uniform understanding of the belief system and practises of the craftsmens throughout the Peninsula.

Este artigo propõe contribuir para a reflexão sobre o processo de curadoria digital, no intuito de discorrer sobre algumas das principais concepções sobre curadoria digital em diferentes contextos, tanto por autores brasileiros quanto estrangeiros, de modo a elucidar e aproximar o tema na organização e gestão de dados em Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS). Para alcançar tal objetivo, esta pesquisa se utilizou de metodologia qualitativa de cunho descritivo, possibilitada por uma revisão sistemática da literatura de trabalhos científicos sobre o tema da curadoria digital, a partir de buscas em uma base de dados acadêmicas (Scopus) e em uma base da literatura cinzenta (Banco de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES). Como resultados, constatou-se que as concepções sobre curadoria digital convergem para diferentes práticas de curadoria de conteúdo, curadoria digital de dados de pesquisa ou eScience e curadoria digital. Também constatou-se que a curadoria digital pode ser aplicada em diferentes contextos, como bases de dados colaborativas, redes sociais, repositórios, gerenciadores de dados qualitativos, preservação do acervo de objetos culturais digitais, além da organização de dados qualitativos em CAQDAS e também como proposta metodológica no processo de ensino.

RESUMO O presente artigo pretende discutir o papel do uso de ferramentas digitais na pesquisa e na escrita da história, refletindo sobre as transformações e os desafios no modo de produção do conhecimento na prática de investigação da ciência histórica, abordando dois aspectos fundamentais: a) o progressivo uso de fontes de pesquisa provenientes de acervos ou repositórios digitais, por meio da análise da Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira (HDB) da Biblioteca Nacional (BN); e b) a maneira como os aplicativos de análises de dados qualitativos - CAQDAS, acrônimo do inglês computer assisted qualitative data analysis software - podem servir para minimizar os problemas e as limitações gerados pelo uso inadvertido e com pouco rigor metodológico das ferramentas digitais. Aqui, utilizaremos o programa ATLAS.ti como exemplo. Concluímos que a busca e a análise digital transformam não apenas a pesquisa histórica, mas possibilitam novas perguntas, problemas e respostas, impactando tanto a teoria quanto o método da disciplina.
