Using NVivo for Literature Reviews
The following information is from the Library Research guide on using NVivo 12 for Literature Reviews and Analytic Writing.
NVivo 12 is software designed to enable qualitative and mixed-methods research, and has been developed by QSR International.
Although some of NVivo’s advanced features are for dedicated qualitative researchers, NVivo can also provide significant help with any kind of analytical writing.
The guide focusses on literature reviews. However, the same techniques are potentially applicable to:
- conference papers
- articles
- commentaries
- book reviews
- legal memoranda or submissions
- student essays
