Computer-assisted qualitative data analysis: using NVivo
Which is the correct sequence for creating a memo in NVivo?
Sources, Memos, Create, Memo
Nodes, New type, Memo to self
Sources, Documents, Browse, Import Memo
It is not possible to create memos in NVivo
Sources, Memos, Create, Memo
It is not only possible to create memos in NVivo, it is also desirable. “Memos” were discussed in chapter 24 as useful aids to the analysis of qualitative data. In NVivo, the sequence is as shown in answer (a), starting at the central, “navigation” screen. It is not necessary to write the memo first in another programme and then import it, since it can be done directly. This is one of NVivo’s strengths, in that it closely relates to the gradual, unfolding way in which qualitative analysis is typically done. Memos can be written during coding, or searching, for example, without disturbing the data array. Because memos are grouped separately they cannot be confused with other sources of data.
