Computer-assisted qualitative data analysis: using NVivo
In which window can you read through, edit and code your documents?
Document Viewer
Node Explorer
Project Pad
Welcome Screen
Document Viewer
The opening screen, shown in Plate 25.1 on page 604, is the “Welcome” screen. Selecting your project (or starting a new one) opens the central screen in NVivo10, referred to as the “navigation” screen. Having imported the project files that you want to analyze, you can open each one and edit it as if it were a Word document, using the Document Viewer (see Plate 25.3, p606). This is also where you can code your documents by applying nodes to sections of the data.
