INSIDE ATLAS.ti - Your QDA Newsletter

Welcome coders, analyzers, and researchers of all stripes!

Having a productive year so far? We’ve been really busy here at ATLAS.ti since the launch of version 6.0 – and we’ve been thrilled to get so much positive feedback from our users! We must share some credit for our new upgrade with all of you who have supported us through the years with your input.

In this issue you’ll find start-to-finish guidance on optimizing your research, from choosing the right QDA package to outputting clear, elegant results. In between, we offer a wealth of tips on taming your data.

Two of our favorite contributors are back with helpful articles about using ATLAS.ti’s new features to expand your pool of data options – and make new discoveries within that data.

So what’s in this issue?

• Many users are still curious about v6.0’s native PDF support. So we asked our popular contributor Dr. Susanne Friese to write a quick guide on how this new feature can boost your research. Read "Getting the most out of Native PDF Support"

• For our "Beyond the software" section, we explored a few factors that can make or break a QDA package – like comprehensive tech support, frequent upgrades, and more. Read "Is your QDA a ‘sound investment’?"
