Welcome to the NUD.IST4 Classic Guide

I have developed this guide to assist qualitative researchers who want to learn how to use NUD.IST4 Classic to conduct Computer-Aided Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDA).

If you are using this guide I would very much like to hear from you. I'd like to know if you find something missing or if you come across something that still seems confusing. If you find the guide useful, of course I'd like to know that too! Your suggestions will help improve the guide, so please feel free to send me your comments.

Have a Question or Comment about NUD.IST4 or the GUIDE?

Please read and respect the copyright and don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

Before you begin using this guide you may want to take a few minutes to review a short "slide show" entitled Qualitative Research: Analysis Without Numbers which was part of a presentation I made at the Association of Computing Machinery, Computer/Human Interface Forum of Oregon, Portland, OR, October 27, 1999. And if you're interested in learning more about qualitative research, please be sure to visit the Qualitative Research Page and explore the Bibliography.
