Do THIS before you import Anything to NVIVO - so that it doesn't crash

I love the music break!

Glad that you liked it :)

I was really confused whether I should put my transcript on table before I code. Thank you so much for your explanation.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

You're very welcome!

05:03 "I think I'll make a rap out of it." xD You know I don't care about Nvivo, I'm here for the tongue slip music breaks.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

LOL. Glad to hear that you're enjoying that! And well done for making it that far into a video ;)

​@@qualitativeresearcher Jokes aside, I've just started my phd project and I will use Nvivo extensively (doing the litreview, coding my sources etc.). Now I am thinking about buying a new laptop, do you have any recommendations concerning specs? I mean Nvivo's official site says 8GB ram is enough for running the software, but 16GB is preferable, for me it seems a little odd. Since I have never done bigger projects with Nvivo yet, I don't know the limits of it. What specs would you recommend for Nvivo users?

[@qualitativeresearcher]

@@kissebb Thank you for the question - I must say I am not a big expert in computers, but all I know is that when something says preferable, you would probably want to go for that option. I have 8 GB ram at the moment, and whilst I have never had any issues with NVIVO on this computer, I am actually getting more ram as I use other software that can be very heavy on my computer, including video editing or photography software, and I know it is always nice to have more ram. Having said this, I know there are other important things that play a role here, rather than ram, including even the type of the harddrive itself, as I was also advised to upgrade this too. Therefore, like I said, I would think about this and perhaps ask someone who knows about computers more than I do

[@kissebb]

@@qualitativeresearcher Thank you for your answer. It is really helpful, I'm sure I don't use Nvivo as extensively as you, so if you had no problem with it, that is quite reassuring for me. Meanwhile, I leave my previous comment and question open here, maybe other users have useful experience regarding this matter that is worth sharing with the community.

What a brilliant video, I was just starting and thinking whether time stamps (auto-generated from Teams) were needed. Thanks for your tips!

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Glad it was helpful!

Dear Dr. Kriukow, I need a consultation in regards to the qualitative study that I am doing. Firstly I watched almost all your videos on youtube. And that is how I learned the basics of qualitative analysis. I am conducting a qualitative study about the near-death experience. I have an in-depth interview with one participant who had a near-death experience after a car accident and went into near-death experience in ICU, her experience is unique. It was a very rich interview. I conducted this interview 4 years ago. But I never publish it. My plan was to do a phenomenological study. But I failed to recruit more participants. I had only another participant with the same experience. So, the total sample size is 2. And in your video, you mentioned that we need at least 5 participants for the phenomenological study. But, now the first participant has been subjected to another near-death experience and I have an appointment to conduct a second (follow-up) in-depth interview with her. My question is: Can I do narrative analysis for these interviews? (two interviews with the same participant, 4 years apart) Or what do you suggest? Can you guide me on how to go further with this data? I am really grateful for your time and help.

Hard to respond quickly here, but I believe you may find my series on "how codes become themes" useful, as I explain this there

[@masyazidane9598]

Dr, i already installed Nvivo a few days ago. But now my Nvivo cannot be used. I tried to launch it, but the main screen disappear within 2 seconds. Have u experienced something like this..?

[@qualitativeresearcher]

I haven't - please contact QSR support for that

[@dharmikvideos]

Good work sir.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Many thanks!

[@monirarina]

Excellent!

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Glad you liked it!

Your content is fine, but I assume you could cut the length of your videos in half by having a decent script. Dont repeat yourself. "I have said it before...as mentioned before...". That is very annoying.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Sorry to hear this annoys you, and I do appreciate the advice, I really do. I just find it more natural to record this way - this is my style, I do not like things being scripted. and also more doable considering my workload . So far this seems to have worked for most people so I suppose it can't be That annoying :)
