MAXQDA is a qualitative data analysis software package that supports both qualitative and mixed-methods research. MAXQDA helps researchers organize and code non-numerical data, such as text (documents, transcripts, ethnographic field notes), photos, audio, and video, as well as text data from surveys. MAXQDA supports manual coding (applying codes or labels to segments of data) and paraphrasing or summarizing data, as well as providing some automated tools for looking at word frequencies, sentiments, and automated coding. Additional AI tools are being added to MAXQDA, but are not yet approved for use with research data at IU. MAXQDA can also visualize these analyses with frequency tables and charts, word clouds, and diagrams. MAXQDA software is identical across its Mac and PC versions, simplifying collaboration across platforms. The SSRC provides access to MAXQDA, as well as trainings and consultations to support users.
