HyperRESEARCH Provides:

Easy-to-use Interface: HyperRESEARCH offers the same intuitive case-based interface on all supported platforms. Our customers tell us that HyperRESEARCH is so easy to learn and use that it lets them focus more on their research, and minimizes the need for costly workshops and further software instruction. It provides a turn-key solution by employing a built-in help system and several tutorials with step-by-step instructions. The functional simplicity and reliability of the software combined with its powerful advanced features make HyperRESEARCH an excellent tool for qualitative researchers at any level.

Flexible Methodologies: HyperRESEARCH supports Case-base or Source-based qualitative methodologies or combinations. With flexible organization of codes from any source to any case and support for code frequencies and other code statistics, HyperRESEARCH is ideal for mixed-method approaches to qualitative research.

Fully Cross-Platform: The latest version of HyperRESEARCH is designed from the ground up to work well on Microsoft Windows® and Apple's Mac OS X®. We deliver a consistent experience on both platforms while adhering to the conventions users expect on each. The HyperRESEARCH study file format and all of the various media types supported will work equally well regardless of which operating system you use.

Multilingual Text Support: HyperRESEARCH 3.0 supports the Unicode text standard, so your source files can include text using different alphabets and non-alphabetic writing systems. Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, and almost all written languages are supported by Unicode.

Comprehensive Code-and-Retrieve Functions: HyperRESEARCH allows you to select any chunk of text (from 1 character to an entire file) and apply any number of code names to the chunk. Recall your codes by name, or select them based on proximity to other codes. View codes in context, in the margin of your Source Text window; or create an exportable report that organizes the specific data you ask for by case or by code name. Reports can be hyperlinked back to the original source material.

Code Groups: This powerful new feature lets you organize codes in groups and subgroups. Codes can be grouped together as a set, can be included in more than one group, and can be nested, with groups containing other groups.

Code Annotation and Descriptions (Memoing): Select a code reference on a case card, click the Annotate button, and add up to 64,000 characters of information per reference. Use the Code List Editor to enter a code definition for any of your master codes. Great for quick reference when decided exactly which code to apply to a source chunk — especially when several researchers are working on the same study.

Flexible Autocoding: Autocode multiple sources to multiple cases, looking for multiple phrases in a single pass. Specify a number of characters, words, or lines before and/or after the found phrases to be included in the chunk selected for autocoding.

Code Mapping: Use the Code Map to graphically represent relationships between your codes. Filter codes based on those relationships.

Theory Builder: Unique to HyperRESEARCH is its Theory Builder (originally "Hypothesis Tester"), which applies rule-based "expert system" techniques to perform in-depth analyses of your coded data to see whether the coding supports your hypothesis.

Shared Work Flow: Collaborative teams working on the same study can use the Import feature to create a “master” study file that includes all the work done on the study. This all-inclusive study file can then be redistributed to the team, if desired, for further coding or for analysis. You can export and import Code Book data so everyone's using the same code names. And because all of HyperRESEARCH's files are fully cross-platform, it doesn't matter which operating system your teammates use.

Customizable Welcome Screen: A new and improved welcome screen gives you quick access to most-used features, including recently opened studies, the Help system, and ResearchWare's customer support website. The Welcome screen is customizable, giving instructors a great way to provide immediate access to specified study files in a lab environment. In conjunction with the Free Limited Edition, this provides a solution for instructors teaching the basics of using qualitative software at no cost to the institution.

Multi-Media Capabilities: HyperRESEARCH allows you to work with text, graphics, audio, and video source material in any of these popular formats:

Study Window

The Study Window is the main HyperRESEARCH window, where your cases and code references are displayed. You may view the code references of one case at a time. The Study Window also shows you how many cases are currently in your study, what the current case filter parameters are and how many cases are filtered (you can specify which cases will be viewable in the Study Window by name and by various other criteria), how many code references have been coded to the current case, and how many of those code references are currently filtered (viewable).

With the "View Source" box checked, clicking any code reference will display the coded source material. HyperRESEARCH will open the file in a source window, with the coded source portion highlighted.

With the "View Annotation" box checked, clicking a code reference that has been annotated will cause the Annotation window to open, displaying the annotation that goes with the highlighted code reference.

The study window is fully resizable and movable; you may position it any way you like on your computer screen.

Source Windows

There are four major source window types, one for each of the types of source material HyperRESEARCH can work with.

Text Source Window

The Text Source window displays text files. You may customize the Font Settings (typeface and size) and also choose whether or not to display the codes in context (code names appearing in the left margin). This window is fully resizable and movable. You can also move the boundary between the codes column and the main text area when Display Codes in Context is active.

 

Graphic Source Window

The Graphic Source window allows you to display still images (.gif or .jpg or similar graphic files) and assign codes to selected portions of the image.

 

Movie Source Window

The Movie Source window displays movie files (with their audio tracks, if any) using Apple's Quicktime software. You may select and code any number of frames, to be replayed when recalling the source material from the Study Window or in a hyperlinked report.

 

 

Audio Source Window

The Audio Source window uses Apple's Quicktime software to allow you to play back an audio file, and select portions for coding."Viewing" the coded source material of an audio file (either by selecting the code reference on the Study Window with the "View Source" feature active, or clicking on a hyperlinked code reference in a report) recalls and replays the selected portion of the audio track.

 

 

Code Book

The Code Book window allows you to view and manipulate your code List. You can add codes, edit codes (with changes being reflected in individual code references in the Study window), and enter detailed descriptions for your codes.

Code Groups help you organize your codes. Codes can be assigned to multiple code groups. Assigning code groups to other code groups creates sub-groups, allowing multi-level hierarchies for your codes.

To assign codes to source material, select the source material in a source window (text, graphic, movie, or audio) and then select one or more codes from the Code Book to Apply to that selection.

 

 

Code Map Window

The Code Map window is a tool to explore graphic representations of the relationships between your codes. You can group codes in any way you wish, and visually link code names to one another. You can filter codes using a code map, and apply that selection to the study window, which will then display only those code references corresponding to the selected codes.

 

 

Annotation Window

The Annotation window allows you to add a memo or annotation to any code reference in your study. Unlike a code description, which applies to a code, an annotation is specific to an individual code reference and its underlying source material.

 

 

Report Window

The Report window presents the report generation options.

When preparing a report, first use the case and code filters to choose the specific codes and cases you wish the report to include. Then use the Report window to specify the data you want to retrieve for those codes and cases. You may then either display it on the screen or export it as a text file.

A displayed report looks like this (with some variations based on the options specified for the current report):

If the "Hyperlinks" elements are all included, the code reference lines will actually be hyperlinks. Clicking on a code reference (e.g. "first learns...    3    TEXT    2753,3265   FDAOngoingInvestigation.rtf") will recall the underlying source material in a Source Window. This allows you to view the source material in the context of the rest of the file if you wish.

 

Theory Builder Window

The Theory Builder is an expert system that helps you build theories and test them against the codes you've applied to your data. Like the Report Builder, the Theory Builder consists of two windows: the Theory Builder window and a Display window.

The Theory Builder window displays the current Theory Rule List at the top, and lets you edit those rules on the bottom.

When the theory rules list is complete, you can export the theory test report as a text file, or display it in a separate window.
