So I'm going to suggest a couple of queries combined which should give you what you want:įirst run a text search on the specific word you want to test for co-occurrences. Well it's always going to be a little more difficult if you're not sure what you're looking for. Let me know if you would like this and we can easily arrange a day/time to to do it. I know that some people don't like searching through help files so If you like, I would be happy to give you a live on-line demonstration of these tools on the live or tutorial data. Once you learn these skills, you will be able to ask questions of your data very quickly indeed as these queries take no time to run. The query either works and finds the information you think may be there or it doesn't in which case there is no harm done. The beauty of queries is that you can't hurt your data in any way. You can interrogate your data and allow the computer to do the administrative tasks as it finds content based on a logic or condition determined by you thereby freeing up your time to interpret the data which is a much better use of you (the researcher) as a resource. You will get it back many times over as these queries allow you to filter your data in an intelligent way and get just the context you want to see before you. It's well worth while investing a little time in this regard. The 'click here' instructions for running these searches can be found in the help files in NVivo: īasically Véronique, you need to get to know the query tool. You can convert the cells in thee matrix to nodes for intersections that meet the search criteria. Then run a matrix to see where these these nodes intersect. Spread the finds to surrounding paragraph or specify how many words you want to see on either side of the coded word. Use a word frequency search to build a series of nodes based on individual words.
Use subquery 1 for first word or phrase, use subquery 2 for second word or phrase and choose from a range of operators such as NEAR, PRECEDING, SURROUNDING to define how the return will be made Use a compound query to further refine text searches. Find word A AND word B in all or a selection of sources or nodes and specify 'spread coding to' surrounding paragraph for example
There are a variety of means all involving queries. NVivo 1-to-1 support for your Student Groups.Academic Editing, Guidance and Consultancy Service.
