The management of research data and thoughts is the basis of qualitative analysis. It summarizes all techniques in this project into two folds: Manage data and thoughts with memo, sets, node structure and casebook

This section introduces a project whose researchers used NVivo to facilitate grounded theory research (Hutchisona et al., 2010). Qualitative technique tools and their applicable conditions. Legitimation refers to the trustworthiness, credibility, dependability, confirmability and transferability of the inferences made, which can be enhanced by within-method initiation and within-method triangulation (Leech & Onwuegbuzie, 2007). Representation refers the ability to extract the exact meaning of the text, which can be enhanced by within-method complementary, within-method expansion and within-method development. Leech and Onwuegbuzie introduced seven qualitative technique tools (see Table 1), they argued that to strengthen qualitative analysis, researchers should use at least two qualitative techniques to ensure representation and legitimation (Leech & Onwuegbuzie, 2007). After reviewing qualitative technique tools and their application, this essay introduced a grounded theory research project which used NVivo to facilitate data analysis, discussing its implications for future research. This essay aims to discuss how to use NVivo appropriately in grounded theory research. INTRODUCTIONĪs data analysis in grounded theory research is time-consuming and laborious, using Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) in an appropriate way can help lessen such burden. NVivo techniques, grounded theory, qualitative analysis. This essay first introduced seven qualitative technique tools and discussed their application, then summarized the NVivo techniques of a grounded theory research project and discussed its implications.
