Using Nvivo9 for Data Analysis Using Nvivo9 for Data Analysis By using Nvivo9’s Coding Query, it became easier to determine instances based on the code and groups of codes that I selected for analysis. Within the document containing interview responses, the following were some of the codes I employed in the query process: 1123444. I viewed all the instances that had elements of these codes. In order to accomplish the search, I clicked Queries button located in the Navigation View. Then explored option selected followed by clicking New Query, then selecting Coding.

Dialog box of Coding Query pops up to allow for the commencement search refinement. In the dialog box, I clicked Coding Criteria and defined my search using the Simple button. Using Query Options, I described the storage methodology for my query results (Stanford University 2012). Another feature that was vital during data analysis using Nvivo9 software was the selection of hierarchical nodes (codes) to help in furthering the classification of vital information. This procedure is very crucial since it involves the processes of merging, deleting, and adding relevant categories to the analysis.

With the emergence of new and refined themes, the analysis narrows down to fields that can be interpreted by the reader of the information. Further filtering of the data involved the use of Matrix Query. This option allowed me to balance and show the emerging results in the matrix table. Each matrix cell has a newly created node for easy grouping of the needed information. Opening the newly created node explores all the elements stored in there (Stanford University 2012). Using different categories in the Matrix and Coding Query I developed my data interpretation ideas as per the emerging patterns, meanings and categories.

I believe that I used the Nvivo9 software correctly in coming up with the stated results. ReferenceStanford University (2012). Using NVivo for Quality Data Analysis. Retrieved March 10, 2014, from http://www.stanford.edu/group/ssds/cgi- bin/drupal/files/Guides/UsingNVivo9_0.pdf
