What is NVivo Mac?

NVivo Mac is a native Mac application that lets users organize and analyze unstructured or semi-structured data like interviews, field notes, audio visual material and journal articles. Users can organize their material by topic to uncover trends and emerging themes.

There is also a version of NVivo 11 Windows. If users want to work across platforms, it is worth considering whether the current release of NVivo for Mac has the features they need. For a detailed comparison of the features currently available on both platforms, refer to the QSR website.
