Special Topic: Collaboration
In this 2-hour tutorial, we explain how to apply ATLAS.ti in collaborative, team-based research projects that include multiple data researchers and/or research sites. You will learn to use Atlas.ti to code and analyze your data collaboratively and to efficiently merge and share your work with others in your team. Topics include how to manage user profiles, develop and apply collaborative coding schemes, manage and merge analyses using comments, memos and the network view, assess inter-rater reliability across coders, and import/export files to and from ATLAS.ti in order to integrate results with other data analysis programs (e.g. SPSS and Excel) used by your research team. This course is most suitable for those with an intermediate knowledge of the software, though beginners are also welcome
