Upcoming webinars
Multilevel Theory Development Using Code Co-occurrence Analysis in ATLAS.ti
Date/Time
APR 17 Wednesday
07:00 AM – PDT
With the increasing complexity of research data, the ability to analyze nested and hierarchical data structures is essential for building comprehensive theoretical models. In this webinar, participants will delve into the fascinating world of multilevel theory development using the power of Code Co-occurrence Analysis in ATLAS.ti. This course aims to provide researchers, scholars, and students with the skills needed to harness the full potential of ATLAS.ti for multilevel theory development practices. Specifically, the objectives of this short webinar are fourfold: a) Understanding Multilevel Theory Development via attaining a profound comprehension of the underlying concepts and principles governing multilevel theory development, b) Mastering ATLAS.ti’s Code-Cooccurrence Table, c) Creating Multilevel Theoretical Models, and d) Enhancing Research Capabilities via acquiring invaluable competencies that will not only elevate your research capabilities but also distinguish you within the academic and research community as a proficient practitioner in the domain of multilevel theory development.

IQRN Webinar Series: Data Collection Episode Profiles – Working Visually with Quotations in the ATLAS.ti Network View
Date/Time
May 22 Wednesday
07:00 AM – PDT
Sort and Sift, Think and Shift, developed by ResearchTalk, is an approach to qualitative analysis that emphasizes the importance of “power” quotations, text segments from a transcript or other document that are especially instructive or evocative. In the Sort and Sift approach, researchers often construct diagrams of these quotations, called “data collection episode profiles,” whereby each transcript is analyzed holistically before we assess patterns across them. The ATLAS.ti Network View provides a tool that is well suited for these episode profiles through the use of quotation titles or the quotations themselves. The position of quotations in the diagram reinforces the meaningful relationship among them—for example, a centrally located quotation suggests its shared relevance to surrounding quotations. Hyperlinks available in ATLAS.ti, including user-defined relationships, can further illustrate dynamic links between and among quotations. Researchers interested in coding can move from the episode profile to coding quotations based on the larger contextual meaning of clusters of text segments as well as the more nuanced meaning of individual segments. Memos and comments can also be incorporated in these diagrams. This session will use data from interviews with immigrants from the Archive of Immigrant Voices.
