NVivo 9 is software that helps you to work with unstructured information like documents, surveys, audio, video and pictures - so that you can ultimately make better decisions. Whatever your materials, whatever your field, whatever your approach, NVivo provides a workspace to help you at every stage of your project.

NVivo 9 highlights

- Import and work with with documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, audio, video and pictures.

- Spend more time on data analysis and discovery. NVivo lets you organize and classify data quickly.

- Work systematically and ensure you don't miss anything in your data.

- Uncover subtle connections in ways that simply aren't possible manually with queries.

- Reflect and add your insights and ideas to analysis.

- Rigorously justify your findings with evidence. NVivo helps you link findings back to the original data that supports it.

- Easily interchange data with applications like Microsoft Excel, Word, IBM SPSS Statistics and EndNote.

- Easily work with material in your own language.

- Effortlessly share your work with others.

What‟s new in NVivo 9?

Released in October 2010, NVivo 9 helps you to easily organize and analyze data in documents, pictures, surveys, audio and video, so you can deliver robust findings quickly. NVivo 9 delivers simpler, more flexible analysis with greater insight.

Access new learning resources

- Instructional tutorials have „voiceover‟ to talk you through how features are used.

- Mini „table of contents‟ at the top of most NVivo 9 Help pages make it easy for you to find the information you need.

Enjoy enhanced usability

- NVivo 9‟s interface now includes a ribbon to help you quickly find frequently used commands so tasks can be completed with fewer steps.

- Save time when you‟re working with the new quick coding toolbar thanks to „auto suggest‟.

- „Wizards‟ take you through more complex operations like creating customized reports, one step at a time.

Organize and manage data with ease

- In NVivo we refer to the containers for storing themes as „nodes‟. Create nodes that represent anything at all

– like people, places and organizations - and assign any demographic data or attribute to them. Create your own folders for organizing them too. Now it‟s easier to ask more detailed questions of your data than ever before.

- Assign our own colors to nodes, sources, attribute values and users and see them throughout your project - in coding stripes, charts and models for example.

- NVivo helps you to gather all your material under themes, or „code‟. Choose to see all of the coding in your child nodes (or sub nodes), „rolled up‟ into the parent node.

- Existing node structures from NVivo 7 and NVivo 8 are preserved when you open your project in NVivo 9. We haven‟t taken anything away – all we‟ve done is given you more choice.

Work with spreadsheets and databases

- Import and work with data contained in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Access database tables, text delimited files and ODBC database tables or views. This lets youwork with survey responses for example.

- Select how you view and work with your datasets. Opt for the „table view‟ and see your data in its original format. Or, if you prefer to work with one survey response at a time for example, choose the „form‟ view.

- Speed up your analysis – particularly when you‟re working with large datasets – by automatically coding your data. For example, create a new theme or „node‟ for the responses to each question in a survey. You can automatically group responses based on demographic data too - for example, group the survey responses from a particular age group together.

Work with literature reviews and bibliographies

- Import literature reviews from reference management tools like EndNote, Zotero or RefWorks into NVivo 9. Information like a journal article‟s title, author and your own notes can be directly imported. If you‟ve saved articles as file attachments, they‟re added to your NVivo project too.

- Generate a bibliography by exporting information you‟ve collected about your bibliographic references from NVivo 9 into EndNote, Zotero or RefWorks.

- Work with data from reference management tools in NVivo too. For example, run a „query‟ to search for all journal articles published in the year 2000 that have content coded to a particular theme. Let “finds” evolve with your project

- Save the criteria you used to “find” an item into a “search folder” - so if you need to re run the same find later, you‟ll be able to do so easily.

- Use “search folders” when scoping your queries and visualizations, for more flexibility.
