Event details

About the event

Presented by Dr Sam Cadman, Library Research Support Officer and Linlin Zhao, Research Librarian

Are you working on a literature review? Join us for an introductory workshop on analysing your literature search results using NVivo. By the end of this workshop, you should have a clear understanding of how NVivo can benefit your reading and analysis. You will also have begun to learn the core skills you will need to use NVivo for your literature review.   

The session will look at how to get started with: 

  • Downloading and installing NVivo  
  • Importing source documents such as journal articles, conference papers, or theses 
  • Identifying themes  
  • Capturing (or “coding”) excerpts of your source documents and grouping them according to theme 

This workshop will include demonstration, hands-on activities, question time and breaks. For best outcomes, users are encouraged to download NVivo from the Deakin Software Library (personal computers) or Software Self Service (Deakin staff computers) prior to attending. Please contact Deakin IT Help for technical support.  

The Spring Skills Refresher series is targeted at Higher Degree by Research students, however, other Deakin students, researchers, and professional staff are more than welcome to attend.
