In short, I haven't yet found a free or open equivalent. But you may find either or both of these interesting/useful for your purpose: Ames, S. L., P. E. Gallaher, P. Sun, S. Pearce, J. B. Zogg, B. R. Houska, B. C. Leigh, and A. W. Stacy. "A Web-Based Program for Coding Open-Ended Response Protocols." Behavior Research Methods 37, no. 3 (2005): 470-479. "The coding program is housed on a Linux server and is implemented with PHP and MySQL. It is optimized for use with the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser and may be accessed at http://ipr1.hsc.usc.edu/codedemo/. The program is password protected, and visitors may log on using "admin" as both the username and password to test the application." and a pretty comprehensive coverage of Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) tools here: http://onlineqda.hud.ac.uk/ Cheers, James On Apr 1, 2006, at 3:47 PM, Peter Timusk wrote:

Hi was going to suggest a search at www.sourceforge.org a good open source software repository until I realised sourceforge has very little academic tools software. I would hope some academics with programming skills would start to make some software at sourceforge and fix this problem. My own programming skills can not do this as I only really do html these days and only programmed before there were gui's and have not made the jump to mouse and window software programming.

Hi all..

we need to do some analysis of qualitative data (interviews and observation documents in MS word) we recently collected.

We are looking for a free nvivo equivalent software to use to analyse our data as financial resources for this project are limited.

any recomendations?

thanks in advance...
