[Air-L] Apple Mac qualitative data analysis

[Trevor Harvey]

Depending on the type of qualitative research you do, you might want  
to take a look at Tinderbox. I have been using Tinderbox (http://www.eastgate.com/Tinderbox/ 
) for several years and have found it to be an excellent tool for  
ethnographic fieldnotes and research analysis. It is much less  
structured than many of the tools already mentioned, so it may not be  
the best option for some. But it is very flexible and shines when  
working with semi-structured and unstructured notes/data and for  
focusing on emergent structure within your notes. It also uses XML as  
its native file format, which I find to be a benefit.

Kindly,
Trevor
