Qualitative Data Analysis

ATLAS.ti is a qualitative research tool that can be used for coding and analyzing transcripts & field notes, building literature reviews, creating network diagrams, and data visualization. ATLAS.ti can be accessed on computers in the Main Library and the Weaver Science & Engineering Library. 

The features of Atlas.ti include but are not limited to:

• Data Level Analysis
• Writing up Analysis
• Data Visualization 
• Collaborate with others
• Coding and Organization
• Transcribe Data
• Import, Analyze, and Export Various Data Formats

University of Arizona Faculty, Staff, and students have access to Atlas.ti software at the following locations:

• Main Library
• Albert B. Weaver Science-Engineering Library

The Atlas.ti software can also be bought and downloaded through the official website. Students (undergraduate and graduate) can receive a reduced price. The University of Arizona does not have a campus-wide license and Atlas.ti is only available in the Libraries.

ATLAS.ti allows researchers to collect and consolidate primary data and evaluate their significance using a variety of tools. Since ATLAS.ti accepts a wide variety of data formats, it encourages drawing qualitative analytical connections between many different materials, from video and images to survey data to case study transcripts.

It maintains all related coding, memos, and annotations under the same project bundle. In addition, you can export reports, data visualizations and other analyses, and the full project file in multiple formats.
