NVivo can help even the most casual users with their literature review. However, some of the software’s more in-depth features can be especially useful in this context.  By the end of this workshop, you will understand some of the more intermediate functions that make NVivo the industry standard software for qualitative analysis. You will also have acquired practical knowledge and/or hands-on experience about how these skills they can be applied to a literature review. 

Some of the NVivo features we will consider include: 

• Importing EndNote library files and creating Memos 
• Structuring an NVivo project file as a hub for different elements of a research project 
• Advanced coding techniques to assist with developing and revising themes, and recording page numbers 
• Using text queries to target themes with systematic searches 
• Exporting Codebooks and Word documents for interim reports and final drafting  

This workshop will include demonstration, hands-on activities, question time and breaks. Attendance at Thursday’s 'Getting started with NVivo for your literature review' is not a prerequisite, but previous experience using NVivo will be an advantage.

It is not essential to have the software ready to use, although users are encouraged to download NVivo from the Deakin Software Library (personal computers) or Software Self Service (Deakin staff computers) prior to attending.  

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.
