World-leading mixed methods software
Do you want to include quantitative analysis methods in your qualitative data analysis? MAXQDA offers you an unbeatable variety of mixed methods functions for this purpose.
Intuitive and easy to learn
Thanks to the self-explaining interface, you will quickly find your way around. Numerous tutorials, guides, and webinars, as well as an active community, help you dive deeper into MAXQDA.
Efficient teamwork
It has always been easy to collaborate with MAXQDA. The new TeamCloud makes it even easier. It takes care of file management and team communication for you.
Identical on Windows & macOS
One license, two operating systems. The identical interface and functions make teamwork and teaching with MAXQDA easy. Decide flexibly what you want to work with.
Main User Interface
Use MAXQDA to manage your entire research project. Easily import data like texts, interviews, focus groups, PDFs, web pages, spreadsheets, articles, e-books, and even tweets. Organize your data into groups, link relevant citations together, and share and compare work with your team members. Your project file remains flexible, allowing you to gradually expand and refine your category system to fit your research.
Flexible Color Assignments
MAXQDA offers you more than 1,000,000 colors to use with your qualitative analysis. Assign them freely to codes, subcodes, or texts. Color assignments are user-controlled and can be used functionally, not just as an aesthetic accessory.
Idea Storage in Memos
When reviewing your data, good ideas and insightful connections often arise. Record these, such as research questions and goals, in Memos or use them to paraphrase passages into your own words.
Video Analysis
With MAXQDA, you can import, play, transcribe, paraphrase, and directly code video footage for video analysis. The “Multimedia Browser” lets you play and code videos using the same approach you would use for text analyses.
Search and Retrieve Features
With MAXQDA’s Text Search, you can search and automatically code interesting keywords, such as important concepts for your literature review. The automatically created document variables can be used with Mixed Methods tools, and you can use MAXQDA’s powerful Coding Query, which allows you to analyze the combination of codes in different ways.
Document Comparison Chart
With a single mouse click, you get a powerful chart that lets you compare texts at a glance and find out which codes have been assigned in which paragraphs. You are completely free to decide which codes and texts should be included in the comparison.
Document Portrait
Visualize the dynamics of an interview with a document portrait. Compare code frequencies and distributions across your data or discover patterns or connections. Thanks to the interactive connection between your visualizations and your MAXQDA data, you’ll never lose sight of the big picture.
MAXMaps
Illustrate your analytical process and its results in constant interactive connection to your data and freely add project elements (overlapping codes, memos, etc.). Use automatic templates to quickly get started or use the tool freely, like a true mind mapping software package.
Mixed Methods Features
MAXQDA is the mixed methods expert! With MAXQDA, you can easily combine qualitative and quantitative methods to gain even deeper insights into your data. MAXQDA offers mixed methods tools, quantitative text analysis tools in MAXDictio (the add-on module of MAXQDA Plus), and statistical analysis in the Stats module of MAXQDA Analytics Pro.
Quantitative Evaluation of Themes
Quantitative aspects can also be relevant in a qualitative study. For example, sort sources according to document variables and compare values with frequency tables and charts. Don’t miss MAXDictio's word frequency functions, which make quantitative analysis of terms and their semantic contexts even easier.
MAXQDA Analytics Pro with the Tool Stats
MAXQDA Analytics Pro equips you with a large range of tools for statistical analysis. Seamlessly quantify your qualitative data and enrich your analysis with evidence and plausibility. With the integrated output viewer, you can transfer every table and every chart into your report with a simple copy & paste.
Visualize and Publish Your Data
Create an overview of both your data and your data analysis for yourself and for presentations. Export ready-for-print reports or create powerful visualizations and statistics to illustrate your results and share findings with stakeholders.
