Abstract

By analysing 30 years of academic literature this research identifies and conceptually models how the evolution of computer-assisted qualitative data analysis (CAQDAS) technology has affected research practices for collecting, analysing and reporting qualitative data. The paper models various approaches to CAQDAS-supported research to illustrate the implications of this evolutionary process for contemporary qualitative research practice and methodological debates.
