??N6?????

• ?????????
• A project in N6 corresponds to a research project
  in the "real world". That can be as large as a
  doctoral or university team research effort, or
  as confined as a "this week" pilot focus group.
  In it you can store all your data, your research
  notes and results, and all your ongoing work and
  analysis. N6 provides many tools for relating
  that information, analyzing it, and storing
  results of analysis for investigation and further
  analysis.

11

• In short, N6
• 1. holds all your project data
• 2. helps you manage your project and
• its data
• 3. provides extensive exploration,
• analysis, and reporting tools for your
  data.

12
?????????

• Documents are the fundamental source of data in
  an N6 project, Documentation in any qualitative
  project occurs at all levels, from the initial
  field data to the analyses and reports. In N6,
  all of this is covered in the idea of an N6
  document.

13

• A project can have any number of documents in it,
  and they can be of any size. However there are
  practical limits imposed by the capacity of your
  computer and the ability of N6, as with any
  program, to handle ever larger amounts of data
  quickly and efficiently. In practice, on a large
  computer, an N6 project can handle very large
  numbers of documents.

14
????

• 1.?????
• Every document in a project, and every node, can
  have an editable file of text associated with it,
  called its memo. Memos are intended for the
  researcher to record their thoughts and comments
  about the document or node. Memos are not only
  useful, they are methodologically important.

15

• You can create the memo for a document or node at
  any time, and the memo can be read and edited at
  any time. A memo should not exceed about 24,000
  characters in length, or about 400 lines.
• Memos are not project documents they cannot be
  coded and they do not appear in the browsers. On
  the Other hand they are fully editable in N6's
  internal editor, which make them much easier to
  change than a project document.

16
2. ????

• Files of plain text play a significant role in
  N6. For example, producing reports and tables are
  an important way of studying one's data and the
  memos attached to documents and nodes often need
  additions and changes. For these reasons, N6
  provides for convenience an internal editor. Even
  a project's online documents can be edited, on a
  text unit by text unit basis , and the internal
  editor is used for that.

17
??????

• Nodes provide a way of cataloguing all the
  topics, ideas, people, things, places, etc in a
  project - in fact, anything in the project you
  want to record. If you think of the documents in
  a project as like the chapters in a book, then
  think of the nodes as like an index at the back
  of the book that lists anything important that
  occurs in the book.

18

• Book indexes don't just list important items in
  the book, the entries also contain references,
  such as page numbers, to where the topic occurs
  in the book. N6's nodes are like that nodes are
  said to code text units in the project's
  documents.

19

• An Important aspect of qualitative research in N6
  consists of building up the project's node system
  and giving the nodes coding.
• ????????free nodes and tree nodes.

20
????

• Documents contain all the data in a project, and
  the nodes are all the topics. Coding links topics
  and data by recording where in the data a topic
  occurs. The analogy of a book with an index
  helps the documents are like the text chapters,
  the nodes are like the list of entries in the
  index, and the coding is like the page-number
  references against the index entries.
• Index references in a book usually refer to page
  numbers. In N6, the coding refers to the text
  units in a document.

21
??????

• Text Search is one of the two main tools for
  exploring your documents and nodes, and
  automating the study of a project's data. The
  other is node search.
• Text search finds text units in your project's
  data that contain a particular expression, and
  creates a node that codes them all. Its purpose,
  unlike the usual Find facility in a word
  processor (or in N6's editor) is to collect and
  code those text units. In this way it can help
  create topics and provide a topic-centered view
  of data.

22
??????

• Node search is a set of seventeen tools, lather
  than just one tool, for automatically finding
  relationships between the coding of two or more
  nodes. You can think of it in two ways
• 1. It is a w ay of answering questions about your
  coding.
• 2. It Is a way of building new nodes out of old,
  with the coding in the new node (or output node)
  being derived from the coding in the old nodes
  (or input nodes).
• ?????????..?

23
?????????

• Much of the data in an N6 project can be
  presented in tabular format, for example tables
  of coding data relating documents in row to nodes
  in columns. Tables of data made in other programs
  can be brought into an N6 project (importing) or
  Saved as files from within an N6 project, for use
  in other programs (exporting). These tables can
  also be inspected within N6, a very important
  data display feature.

24

• In addition, N6 Can export a project's tree node
  system to the tables and graphical visualization.
