Import & automatic pre-coding
MAXQDA can work with all reference management programs that are able to export their data-bases in RIS-format. Like MAXQDA, these reference managers use project files, containing all collected bibliographic information, such as author, title, links to websites, keywords, abstracts, full texts and other information. Upon import, all documents will be automatically pre-coded to facilitate search and retrieval at a later stage.
Store your ideas
Great ideas will often occur to you while you’re doing your literature review. Memos, are a great place for storing your ideas, such as research questions and objectives or use memos for paraphrasing passages into your own words. Particularly useful for literature reviews are free memos written during the course of work on the review from which passages can be copied and inserted into the final text.
Search and Retrieve
With MAXQDA’s Lexical 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 for searching and retrieving certain segments or use MAXQDA’ powerful Coding Query, which allows you to analyze the combination of activated codes in different ways.
Aggregate your results
Never lose track of the bigger picture with MAXQDA’s overview and summary tables. MAXQDA offers overview tables for almost everything, memos, coded segments, links, and so on. You can also use summary tables, with which compressed summaries of sources can be effectively compared and represented. They can easily be integrated into your literature review report.
Quantitative evaluation of themes
Quantitative aspects can also be relevant in a literature review. For example, sort sources according to document variables and compare amounts with frequency tables and charts. Don’t miss the word frequency functions of MAXDictio that make the quantitative analysis of terms and their semantic contexts even easier.
Use the visual approach
Whether for your analysis or publication, MAXQDA’s visual tools are tailor-made for qualitative research, and are also very effective for a literature review. Work with word clouds to explore the central themes of a text and key terms that are used or make use of the graphical representation possibilities of MAXMaps, which in particular permit the creation of concept maps.
