This set of blogs covers the new features for our upcoming release of Dedoose 8! Today we cover new Data Set controls, which allow you to filter your data right in the Excerpts Workspace!

Dedoose is an amazing tool you can use for analyzing all types of data, and today we will import and do some basic analytics with Twitter data! Check out this step by step guide to import your twitter data!

Reliability is the "consistency" or "repeatability" of your measures (William M.K. Trochim, Reliability) and, from a methodological perspective, is central to demonstrating that you’ve employed a rigorous approach to your project. There are a number of approaches to assess inter-rater reliability—see the Dedoose user guide for strategies...

Dedoose can be used effectively in the classroom for both introductory and advanced qualitative and mixed methods courses. Check this out for some tips and recommendations.

Descriptors are powerful. They allow you to break out your qualitative work across demographic and other survey data for greater insights.

Until the launch of Dedoose, if you wanted to Mac-based qualitative research, you were out of luck. With the 2010 release of Dedoose, that dilemma has become a thing of the past.

Did you know that your iPad is a wonderful way to do cutting edge, field-ready mixed methods and qualitative research?

Sometimes referred to as mixed methodology, multiple methodology or multi-methodology research, mixed methods research offers you the best of both worlds.

The fundamental purpose of qualitative research is to better understand why a particular group of people behaves or believes as it does.

Desktop App! Desktop App! YES! We are touting our recently available Dedoose Desktop App.

On March 28th we released an updated version of Dedoose that included some huge new features and many enhancements to easy workflow—thanks to everyone who submitted requests and keep them coming as there is never a good idea that gets ignored at Dedoose central.

As promised, audio support in Dedoose would be coming close on the heels of video and we have delivered!

If you are already familiar with Dedoose functionality and features, there is surprisingly little to say except that you can essentially now do with video media everything you’ve been doing with textual media. 

We are thrilled about the recent release of Dedoose for the tablet.

After some serious head scratching, we've come up with and implemented what we feel is an elegant solution to exporting documents showing all excerpting activity and coding.

Our upgraded charting engine is powered by a fantastic algorithm that looks at the data used, breaks it up into categories based on the distribution of cases across the range of the variable, and then generates charts based on these groupings.

Hey all, we’ve been a bit quiet on the blog lately, but it’s been quite the opposite here at Dedoose Central.

If it hasn't become clear already, the new Dedoose memo system has been online for a couple of weeks and the feedback is fantastic.  

After a lot of hard work by our Dedoose team, we’re thrilled to finally see the Training Center online.  

Our engineering team takes the performance of Dedoose and the satisfaction of our clientele very personal and have all been hard at working squeezing every last bit of power out of Adobe's flash and flex platform.   We are happy to say we believe we nailed it again!

Hi All, It's been a been few weeks and we've done quite a bit of updating lately.

For all those people working with teams in Dedoose, life just got a lot better!  We are proud to announce the project chat system.  

We just released the first public version of Dedoose 1.2 (1.2.18 technically) which has been in development for quite some time.  

After weeks of some very difficult work our engineering team has finished our first major upgrade to Dedoose!  

While we still have a way to go before releasing a mobile version of Dedoose, it is certainly on the horizon.  

We've uploaded what we feel is a terrific video where I give a brief orientation to qualitative research methods and then their place in mixed methods research (and how Dedoose facilitates the work).

Dr. Eli Lieber of UCLA's Center for Culture and Health gives an introduction to the history of qualitative research methods and the evolution to mixed methods or integrated research.

Obtaining the EV certificate was quite an extensive process that included a lot of back and forth with our certificate processor, along with our legal team, but after weeks of set backs we are finally good to go!

Technologies have been rapidly advancing since EthnoNotes was built and we've been dreaming about how to take advantage of this growth.  The dreaming is over, the hard work is behind us, and Dedoose has arrived
