The article appeared in the January-March 2012 issue of the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Education (Volume 8 issue 1, pp 44-52).

We love to see independent reviews of our software - good or bad - as it always tells us something about what we're doing right and where we need to improve. We were especially delighted to see this review of our Simply Powerful Tool for Qualitative Research - HyperRESEARCH™! The review focuses of the perspectives and needs of graduate students. The founders of Researchware all came from Academia and we know what it is like to be a graduate student, which is why we offer the product the way we do - no expiration date on the license, fully upgradable, non-expiring free trial version - an more, all for students. Read the review by Mathieu Reynolds at http://mreyn012.grads.digitalodu.com/blog/?p=846 and download our free trial for yourself, but we have to say, we completely agree with Mat's comment that "HyperResearch has a relatively low learning curve" and the time that saves can make all the difference to a busy Grad!

Last year we announced that Researchware Cofounder, Dr. Sharlene Hesse-Biber, had a new book out, "The Handbook of Emergent Technologies in Social Research" (see here for our announcement). We are very pleased to say the book has been receiving rave reviews. The latest such appears in Journal of Social Research & Policy, Volume: 2, Issue: 2. As the reviewer, Raluca Buhaş, states "The structure of the volume, its wide spectrum of solid and scientific information and the reputation of the contributors recommend The Handbook as being one of the starting points for documentation, understanding and applying emergent technologies in social research."
