What is "maxqda"

MAXQDA is a software program designed for computer-assisted qualitative and mixed methods data, text and multimedia analysis in academic, scientific, and business institutions. It is being developed and distributed by VERBI Software based in Berlin, Germany.

Unlike most other CAQDAS, MAXQDA was not developed on the background of Grounded Theory. Instead, the software is designed for both qualitative, quantitative research and ( mixed methods research). The emphasis on going beyond qualitative research can be observed in the extensive attributes function (called variables in the programme itself) and the ability of the programme to deal relatively quickly with larger numbers of interviews
