SGSSS Nvivo training materials 2025/2026

How to use these materials

The logic of the materials corresponds to the tabs at the top:

The introductory sessions are led by Dr Katy Keenan; we will work through some basic tasks:

setting up a new Nvivo project
organising materials
creating cases and case classifications
manual coding
some autocoding features

The ‘Going further’ sessions are led by Alasdair Stewart and will move to more advanced features and the flexible ways these can be used for qualitative analysis.

Students will learn how to use some more advanced features of NVivo:

coding workflows, tip and tricks
different types of queries
framework matrices

We will use some curated open access qualitative data (the Qualitative Election Study of Britain). However, there is an opportunity to discuss how to use NVivo to manage your own project.
