NVivo 15 -- released and FREE to current GSU affiliates!

Campus IIT will be adding NVivo 15 to their regular installation process sometime soon, but current GSU affiliates can get FREE access to NVivo 15 NOW using the steps in Dr. Mandy's help doc. 

The New AI Assistant

The AI Assistant is an add-on that’s new with NVivo 15 – you can opt-in to use it (free initially, then via paid subscription) or ignore it if AI is not something you want to pursue in your NVivo-ing.

• Initial free access allows processing ~1,000 pages of tokens (1 page ~= 1500 words).
• When limit is reached, a dialog box directs you to a link to myLumivero portal to purchase an AI Assistant add-on subscription with unlimited usage renewable annually. NOTE: You will NOT lose access to NVivo 15 when you reach the AI Assistant free limit.

What does the AI Assistant do?

• AI Assistant: Summarize Text option: Select text in a Document or PDF to automatically summarize the selection and save the summaries as text-linked Annotations.
• AI Assistant: Summarize Document(s) option: Select one or more items [Documents, PDFs, and Audio or Video files with synced transcripts] to automatically generate a summary for each selected item, which can be stored as linked Memos.
• AI Assistant: Suggest Child Codes option: Select a code and generate child codes based on the coded content.

NOTE: As of 2024.10.17, AI Assistant will NOT process spreadsheet-formatted Datasets (i.e., survey open-ended questions, X/Twitter datasets) and audio (i.e., audio or video files lacking transcripts).

NVIVO FOR TEAM CODING

There are various strategies for tracking team members’ work in NVivo and comparing coding, including generating interrater/intercoder reliability & agreement measures.

Installing NVivo? See Dr. Mandy's steps at 

lib.gsu.edu/nvivoinstall

lib.gsu.edu/nvivo-guide

Use NVivo software for qualitative analysis of textual and audiovisual data sources, including:

• Organizing and coding multiple data sources in one central project file.
• Assigning attributes to data (e.g., demographics) for comparative purposes.
• Adding interpretations and notes.
• Querying and searching data.
• Visualizing data.

NVIVO is MULTILINGUAL!

NVivo provides the following text content languages that you can set to match the language of your data files:

Chinese (PRC), English (UK), English (US), French (France), German (Germany), Japanese (Japan), Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Mexico) 

If the language of your files is not available as a text content language, you should set the text content language to 'Other'. See these help pages for setting text content language and stop words: Windows version | Mac version

IMPORTANT: You can still use NVivo for your data analysis even if your data files are a different language from those provided as “text content language” options – but you won’t be able to take advantage of the NVivo features of (1) spell checking and (2) finding words with the same stem or similar meanings when you run Text Search and Word Frequency queries.
