Creating Demographic information in NVivo

In this tutorial, we explore how to input demographic data into NVivo software. Starting with a fresh project, 'Project C', transcripts are first uploaded. Before incorporating demographic data, it's essential to create a case for each participant or transcript. Demographic data can be imported directly from an Excel sheet, ensuring participant IDs match the transcript labels. Alternatively, demographic details can be entered manually in NVivo. This involves creating a container titled 'participant demographics', then adding attributes like age and gender. For predefined categories like gender, set values can be added for convenience. It's crucial to connect participant files to demographics by assigning them to the right classification. This tutorial highlights the flexibility and precision NVivo offers in handling research data. Questions are welcome in the comments section.

You are doing great. Sorry, I have to ask about themes here. During clustering of the codes to form themes, what happens where a code is common to all clusters?

[@drphilipadu]

No problem! Thank you!! It's common, I normally put it to where it is most related to the rest of the codes in a cluster.

Thanks for the video. With option 2, will Nvivo autogenerate the demo data from the imported transcript after the set up? Or need to enter that manually?

[@drphilipadu]

You're welcome! For option 2, you need to enter the demographics manually.

Hi, I have concerns about whether to use Nvivo or not. I have collected a variety of data about heritage sites that need to be analyzed for a competitive analysis among different sites. However, I'm not sure if it requires specific software, or if I can simply use Excel. The dataset is not extensive and can be managed in different ways. What's your opinion on this?

[@drphilipadu]

I this is a qualitative data then NVivo would be the best. Alternatively, you could use ai tools such as Claude.ai or ChatGPT to explore the data.

I'm attempting to conduct an analysis using nvivo. However, the map is not displaying the participants demographics..and yes, I followed your directions attentively
