5. Creating nodes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4crQbeHKhtk
A node is made for each concept, theme, idea
or category you find in your data. NVivo
stores references to the coded data in the
nodes. The source thus remains intact, even
though the reference to the data is
decontextualized. (Free Nodes/Tree Nodes)

13. Auto Coding
NVIVO University of Southampton
It is possible to automate coding in some circumstances.
Where the text is from documents that have been
structured using Microsoft Word’s heading styles, the Auto-
code function can automatically code the documents to
nodes based on the headings entered.

16. Queries
Queries enable you to question your data to help you find
patterns and unifying concepts. If coding is regarded as being
the splitting up and decontextualising of your sources, then
running queries is the recontextualisation and bringing together
of your data into different patterns of understanding and deeper
insight.
There are five different types of query you can run in Nvivo;
Coding Queries
Text search Query
Matrix Coding Queries

25. Matrix Coding Queries
Matrix coding queries enable you to compare what
different demographic groups may have said about a
topic. You can therefore find out what different
groups may have said about an experience or event,
and compare reactions between groups. The matrix
coding query produces a cross tabulation. Usually, the
results of a node (or nodes) give the rows of the
matrix, and the attributes the columns.

27. Creating report
NVIVO University of Southampton
One of the important things to do during a project is
to take a step back and review your progress and
whether it matches your research question. There are
a number of tools which help you do this in NVivo.

30. A model is a way of visualising your data and the
connections between it. It is very easy, while analysing
your data to loose track on the overall view and
interconnectedness of the information. Models are a way
of stepping back and taking a broader view.
Models can also be used in the design stage of your
project, as a means of exploring the conceptual space you
will be working in.
