Introducing the new Mixed Methods Importer Tool for HyperRESEARCH

| Written by Amanda Phillips | Print | Email

Researchware is pleased to announce the release of our new Mixed Methods Importer tool for HyperRESEARCH.

The Mixed Methods Importer tool allows you to import data from a spreadsheet or other data table into a HyperRESEARCH study. The imported data may be quantitative, qualitative, or a mix (e.g. results from a survey containing quantitative variables with qualitative content from open-ended questions). HyperRESEARCH uses the data to create cases and a code book, and auto-codes the quantitative variables and qualitative content.

 

How does it work?

By reading each row of data from your data file and creating a text source file for that row, it automatically generates a source file that is then coded in accordance with the settings you select. The coding, with links to the source material, is saved to a HyperRESEARCH study file for use in HyperRESEARCH.

•          Automatically build a study from your survey data

•          Create a text source file for each case, with the survey labels and responses for that case in the text file

•          Add code groups to your code book (one Code Group for each survey data field you flag to be treated as a "Filter") (e.g. "Employment Status")

•          Add Codes containing the variable responses to your "Filter" data fields to your code book (e.g. "Employment Status - Employed") and to the relevant code group
