Unlock insights with easy-to-use, collaborative qualitative data analysis software
NVivo helps you discover more from your qualitative and mixed methods data. Uncover richer insights, collaborate seamlessly with teams, and produce clearly articulated, defensible findings backed by rigorous evidence.
Bring all your data together
Gather all your qualitative data—documents, transcripts, surveys, audio, video, and more—into one workspace. NVivo unites every stage of analysis so you can interpret complex data with clarity and precision.
Build an analytical foundation
Code manually or with AI assistance, organize participants through cases and attributes, and capture emerging interpretations with memos and annotations to create a structured, defensible foundation for deeper qualitative and mixed-methods analysis.
Reveal patterns and surface insights
Use queries, comparisons, and mixed methods tools to examine relationships, quantify patterns, and explore where themes converge, giving you the insight needed to advance research questions, refine theories, or evaluate program outcomes.
Visualize and communicate meaning
Transform your analysis into compelling visuals, including word frequencies, cluster maps, diagrams, and statistical plots to communicate findings clearly and effectively.
Enhance the power of NVivo
The possibilities for your research are limitless. Discover them sooner with our modules to work smarter with your data.
Import
Import text, audio, video, emails, images, spreadsheets, online surveys, web content and social media from various sources into a simple, intuitive interface. Centralize data from multiple sources to conduct the most in-depth analysis possible. And with NVivo Collaboration Cloud, see contributions from team members in real-time.
Organise
Code your data to identify themes and trends. Organize the people, places, and core metrics of your analysis as cases. Link cases to attribute values such as age and gender to compare different groups in your data.
Take your data organization to the next level by adding on Citavi (our all-in-one writing and referencing solution) and NVivo Collaboration Cloud, where team members can code simultaneously, with all contributions appearing in real-time regardless of operating on a Mac or Windows operating system.
Explore
Ask complex questions to discover meaning in your data. Quickly visualize your data with word frequency charts, word clouds, comparison diagrams and many more. Look for emerging topics and sentiment using specific queries to identify themes and draw conclusions. NVivo 14 adds powerful new insight-generating tools to help researchers accelerate insight and achieve the strongest analysis of the data.
Connect
It’s easy to import notes and data directly from Microsoft Office, such as Excel and Word, with the NVivo – Integration add-in. Licenses for the latest release of NVivo all come with access to the NVivo – Integration add-in for 12 months at no additional cost.
NVivo integrates easily with the programs you use every day. Leverage free integrations for apps like SurveyMonkey, EndNote, and more to centralize your research. Meeting the REFI-QDA Standard, NVivo enables interoperability, allowing you to import research from other QDA or CAQDAS programs.
The latest version also offers instant access and integration to Citavi users and their data. And with NVivo 14, researchers can now easily work across both Mac and Windows operating systems.
