Hi all! I am Angela, an Italian researcher and I am looking for an application that allows working in team, making a shared codebook, share a text database and code it. I tried AnSWR (the CDC''s QDA application) but its installation is too complicated for students and it is not working on latest version of Windows. What about Weft? Is it possible to share a project or, at least, merge different projects, including a codebook? Thank you in advance Ciao Angela ==================================================================================L''Istituto Superiore di Sanit?

You can easily move a a project about and work on it in turns, but there are no facilities to merge coding from different researchers. cheers alex -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Dear all, you can also put the project on a server where everyone can access.

If you want multi-user upport, look at the Center for Disease Controls'' two different QDAs, one is called ANSWR.
Or try: 1) Dedoose: http://www.dedoose.com/ It''s not free, but allows teamwork. 2) CAT: http://cat.ucsur.pitt.edu/ It''s free, but it will depend on your needs whether this will work. Very much geared to teamwork, and they do have great features with regard to reliabilty etc. Or try the PCAT version.

Did anyone ever make any headway on this merging question? Can anyone suggest a work-around if I have five different people coding 10 interviews each and then we want to bring all fifty coded interviews together into a single project? We have one standardized coding tree that will be standard across each interview.

Weft is pretty clearly intended to be single user. The CDC has several free multi-user QDA packages, although I found them cumbersome. If you must do this, you could open the weft file with a SQLite editor, and export the records from other files into a for import into the other. The problem is, the data is normalized across multiple tables, and if there are lots of cross-referenced IDs (I don''t recall the details of the schema) you could have issues. It''s not hard to extract the tagged content from the database though, if you''re willing/able to combine the results from each db and work with it that way. I could dig up the perl script I used for my thesis if there''s any interest.
An alternative package that could perhaps make this easier is OpenCode: http://www.phmed.umu.se/english/divisions/epidemiology/research/open-code/ ----- "Jerrad Pierce" <belg4mit at pthbb.org> wrote:> From: "Jerrad Pierce" <belg4mit at pthbb.org> > To: "Discussion and help for users of Weft QDA" <weft-qda-users at rubyforge.org>, "Lundquist" <lundquist at soc.umass.edu> > Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 6:31:48 AM > Subject: Re: [Weft QDA users] working on team using weft > > Weft is pretty clearly intended to be single user. > The CDC has several free multi-user QDA packages, > although I found them cumbersome. > > If you must do this, you could open the weft file > with a SQLite editor, and export the records from > other files into a for import into the other. > The problem is, the data is normalized across multiple > tables, and if there are lots of cross-referenced IDs > (I don''t recall the details of the schema) you could > have issues. > > It''s not hard to extract the tagged content from > the database though, if you''re willing/able to > combine the results from each db and work with > it that way.

A very simple package for collaborative research, web based, that allows simultaneous work is saturate at saturateapp.com. like I said, very simple. A more sophisticated one, also web based is dedoose. It has a small fee though. http://www.dedoose.com/ good luck cecilia On Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 4:53 AM, Ginkel, G.V.M. van <g.vanginkel at ils.ru.nl>wrote:> An alternative package that could perhaps make this easier is OpenCode: > http://www.phmed.umu.se/english/divisions/epidemiology/research/open-code/ > > > > > ----- "Jerrad Pierce" <belg4mit at pthbb.org> wrote: > > > From: "Jerrad Pierce" <belg4mit at pthbb.org> > > To: "Discussion and help for users of Weft QDA" < > weft-qda-users at rubyforge.org>, "Lundquist" <lundquist at soc.umass.edu> > > Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 6:31:48 AM > > Subject: Re: [Weft QDA users] working on team using weft > > > > Weft is pretty clearly intended to be single user. > > The CDC has several free multi-user QDA packages, > > although I found them cumbersome. > > > > If you must do this, you could open the weft file > > with a SQLite editor, and export the records from > > other files into a for import into the other. > > The problem is, the data is normalized across multiple > > tables, and if there are lots of cross-referenced IDs > > (I don''t recall the details of the schema) you could > > have issues. > > > > It''s not hard to extract the tagged content from > > the database though, if you''re willing/able to > > combine the results from each db and work with > > it that way.
