Qualitative Data Analysis Software: A Call for Understanding, Detail, Intentionality, and Thoughtfulness [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Qualitative data analysis software (QDAS) programs have gained in popularity, but family researchers may have little training in using them and a limited understanding of important issues related to their use. This article urges increased understanding, detail, intentionality, and thoughtfulness with regard to QDAS. A brief history of QDAS is provided. Family-focused research trends in qualitative research and QDAS use are presented. Factors to be considered when choosing a qualitative software program are described, and current debates in the field noted. Suggestions for increasing dialogue about QDAS in the field of family studies are included.
