"NVIVO 12 in 7 STEPS: Qualitative Data Analysis and Coding for Researchers" is a very direct process of how to use the newer version of NVIVO 12 data coding software. This book allows you to work through the software to analyze your data analysis and coding for students completing a qualitative dissertation. NVivo 12 is a tool that enables you to engage the data, but you the researcher are the primary instrument in the study. This book offers the updated version of NVivo 12, but has similar components to reference in this newer version of the software. NOTE: This book was developed from my experiences with NViVO and it has a very direct approach to getting the work completed. My goal is to simplify the process for others; while allowing you to engage the data as it emerges. Practical applications are not meant to be complex when learning, and for those of you that need assistance with organizing the data; you will find this book useful in this direct approach. I have clients that spent months coding complex data, only to find they confused themselves over and over. Their next step was to find the practical use of the software, and complete their data analysis in the same manner as outlined by the designers. Thank you.About the Author: Dr. Troy L.
