What webQDA is

webQDA is browser-based software for qualitative data analysis aimed at researchers and professionals. It works with text, images, video, audio, tables, PDF files and YouTube videos. Users can edit, view, link and organize documents, create categories, code material, and filter, search or query data. Collaboration can happen online in real time, synchronously or asynchronously. The maker identifies academic researchers and postgraduate students, and also describes business analysis of market data such as consumer information. A validated account can activate a seven-day license with access to all features. Projects save automatically, and all or selected project content can be exported to PDF or DOCX. Browser access works on desktop and mobile devices but requires cookies and JavaScript; a display resolution of at least 1280 by 720 is recommended. Imports include RIS, XML and BibTeX metadata, with support for YouTube and publicly shared Dropbox videos.
