INSIDE ATLAS.ti The QDA Newsletter

ATLAS.ti users from more than twenty countries and four continents gathered September 12-14 at the Technical Uni-

versity of Berlin for three days of intensive discussions about methodology, technology, practical applications, and

theoretical considerations centered around qualitative data analysis with ATLAS.ti. In a friendly, relaxed, and yet highly

productive atmosphere a great many new insights were gained by all.

This special issue of INSIDE ATLAS.ti is dedicated to the

conference:

A Note from Thomas Muhr, Founder and CEO of ATLAS.ti

I would like to take the opportunity to say Thank You

for coming to Berlin to attend the ATLAS.ti conference.

Thank you for your engagement, your insightful discus-

sions, your willingness to share your experiences, and of

course for your smiles, good mood and humor. As this

was our rst conference, we felt a bit like the movie Field

of Dreams If you build it, they will come... Well, you

came and made it the wonderful event that it was!

Special thanks goes to the session chairs (Ricardo

Contreras, Ani Munirah, Csar Cisneros, Jeanine Evers,Christina Silver, and Sarah Matthews), and the student

assistants who helped out behind the scenes: Fabian, for

doing everything that was needed at the moment, and

Lisa and Tilman for recording all the sessions and captur-

ing moments of the event on lm.

We would also like to express our gratitude to the Center

of Technology and Society of the Technical University,

Berlin, for their collaboration and for providing an ideal

venue for the event. Our special thanks go to Luidger

Dienel, the former director of the center, with whom the

planning started; Martina Schfer, the current director, forher continuing support; and to Mrs. Naydowski and Mrs.

Adams for their secretarial support.

At the conference, lots of professional as well as personal

friendships were established. Previously, many of us only

knew one another in the virtual world. The conference

gave us a chance to meet in person, which was great.

Once the recorded presentations, lm clips and the elec-

tronic conference proceedings are ready, we hope they

will serve as a virtual platform for a continued exchange

of ideas. This will also allow all those who could not

attend to join in.

To give you an idea about the broad range of topics that

were presented and discussed at the conference, here is

a summary: We learned about a variety of ways in which

ATLAS.ti is used in different types of research and elds

of study, and about the various analysis methodologies

that can be applied. In this key note speech, Nick Woolf

offered us food for thought by proposing an interesting

analogy regarding analytic strategies vs. tactics. A num-

ber of presentations focused on the analysis of visual

data; others presented innovative ways of using various

features of ATLAS.ti. Roundtables gave room for discuss-

ing issues in depth. The posters provided a stimulating

backdrop in the foyer where coffee, tea and good food

provided further opportunities to meet and chat.

Our developers received great input for their continuing

work and very much enjoed meeting the users they pro-

gram for. In the pecha kucha session, a new way of pre-

senting was introduced and we learned how information

can be efciently presented in just 6 minutes 40 seconds.

It was received so well that Christina Silver from the

CAQDAS project immediately considered applying the

format to the next CAQDAS conference (planned forMay 13, 2014). For more information please see:

http://www.surrey.ac.uk/sociology/study/daycourses/

events/2013-2014/140501-CAQDAS2014.htm

The nal day of the conference was devoted to the topic

of teaching: How to combine teaching software and

methodology, how to master cultural and political chal-

lenges in teaching, and how to learn through teaching.

In the nal session, Susanne Friese, author of the seminal

book Qualitative Research with ATLAS.ti, provided

valuable tips on how to develop successful training units

based on her many years of experience.

If you were inspired by these sessions, or generally have

an interest in teaching ATLAS.ti in the classroom, please

get in touch with us. We are happy to support you with

materials, discount coupons, and a personal license at a

reduced price. The address to contact is:

[email protected].

For all who did not have the chance to be there, the

recorded sessions and full papers will soon be available

online. Further information will be posted in the news-

room and on facebook. General consent was: Lets planfor another conference.

See you all there!

First ATLAS.ti User Conference Setting the Bar High in Berlin

By Sarah Matthews

With a showing of colored ribbons representing different continents at the start of the event, it was quickly apparent:

ATLAS.ti gets around. Participants at the 1st ATLAS.ti User Conference hailed from all corners of the globe: Africa,

Asia, Europe, and the Americas, with the largest group from European countries, including Denmark, Spain, Sweden,

the UK and the Netherlands. The gathering in Berlin, Germany, also brought together a wide range of academic and

institutional backgrounds and skill sets: members of the original ATLAS project, novice and experienced users and in-

structors, CAQDAS experts, and ATLAS.ti developers. ATLAS.ti veterans mingled with newcomers, attendees consider-

ing the software for upcoming projects or Ph.D. candidates from diverse elds such as law, medical research or spatial

planning who found innovative ways to integrate ATLAS.ti in their work.

Session at the 1st ATLAS.ti User Conference

Conference rundown

Martina Schfer of the hosting Center for Technology

and Society greeted the conference participants. After

a welcome by conference chair Susanne Friese, Heiner

Legewie took the oor to describe the early stages of

ATLAS.ti, praising the polished product that resulted from

a university research project and the collaboration of so-

cial and computer scientists. Heiner characterized ATLAS.ti

as a continuing journey towards an ideal of perfection and

solid aesthetics, in addition to the programs functional

performance. Thomas Muhr also provided a glance backat noteworthy events and reiterated the basic principles

which have guided development from the very start.

Conceptually, he emphasized that ATLAS.ti does con-

tain hierarchical elements in terms of its objects, but not

necessarily in its workow design. Thomas also gave the

audience a preview of what lies ahead, including a native

Mac version.

To get the ball rolling, Nick Woolf gave his keynote on

working powerfully with QDA software, i.e. using

computer-based tools from the start to nish of a project

while remaining completely true to the iterative, emergent

nature of qualitative data analysis. Nick outlined a number

of pitfalls he has observed in his consulting work, fromnon-use to use that is limited to the initial project stages

and, nally, suppressing the emergent ethos of QDA.

These pitfalls can prevent researchers from getting the

most out of their QDA tool. Ultimately, researchers must

be aware of how the elements and style of their chosen

methodology can mesh with available tools. Expanding

on the military metaphor of strategy and tactics, Nicks

speech spurred a lively debate that extended well into the

evening. It was the perfect start to three days of in-depth

dialog.

The conference continued in smaller sessions. This tar-geted format included research presentations, workshops,

and roundtables on various topics.

One project highlight included Michael Koloceks pre-

sentation on how various nation states characterize and

approach the issues of inadequate housing and homeless-

ness. Michael conducted a global discourse analysis with

outset of the conference

predened keywords to analyze various ofcial docu-

ments using the auto-coding function in ATLAS.ti. By

exporting data generated in ATLAS.ti to ArcGIS, Michael

was able to generate diffusion maps with strong visuals

of the discourse on homelessness worldwide.

Nick Woolf presents his concept of strategy and tactics

for QDA, with metaphors that inspired lively debate.

The conference roundtables offered a forum for collabora-

tion and feedback. Agnes Mhlmeyer-Mentzel presented

her proposal for a taxonomy of relations that would poten-tially allow researchers to share code networks. Pre-dened

relations, she argued, could offer an efcient, easily intelli-

gible standard and the potential to merge ndings. Round-

table participants were intrigued by the proposal, debated

its merits, and brainstormed how different sets of relations

could reect various research methodologies in ATLAS.ti.

Emerging topics

A number of important topics emerged in the course of

the event. Some central themes could be identied as

community, new formats, teaching and meth-

ods, which are outlined below.

Community

As the Director of Training and Partnership Development,

Ricardo Contreras is hard at work behind the scenes at

ATLAS.ti developing innovative approaches to foster

community among ATLAS.ti researchers and instructors.

One exciting component of the ATLAS.ti Learning System

is the Community of Practice. Researchers can present

their work in a one-hour webinar format, talk about their

experience using ATLAS.ti and get feedback from their

peers. These webinars take place once a month and are

conceived as an open forum. Along with this worldwide

peer network, Ricardo is working to develop and certify

a community of ATLAS.ti trainers.

As an example of regional community, dedicated ATLAS.ti

trainer Ani Munirah informed conference goers about the

growing number of ATLAS.ti users in Malaysia. Several

workshops are organized by the Malaysian Postgraduate

Workshop Series (MPWS) and are held in Kuala Lumpuras well as in other cities throughout the country.

Networking and debate continued well into the evening

New formats test-driving ATLAS.tiMobile

ATLAS.ti developers have pared down their software to its

essentials for researchers on the go. Conference attendees

got a rst-hand look at the new, ultra-portable version

of ATLAS.ti, demonstrated by Susanne Friese. With a

number of iPads in the audience, workshop participants

could follow along and load their own data into a sample

project. From there, Susanne demonstrated how to cre-

ate quotations and assign codes in various different le

formats (text, audio, video, image and PDF). Friedrich

Markgraf, lead developer for ATLAS.ti Mobile, sat in on

the session and welcomed feedback working together,

the audience even developed new ideas for the margin

area, which are sure to be implemented soon!

Strategy-wise, the app supports the data collection and

reduction phases, i.e. HU creation and coding with the

same basic functionality as the desktop version. Research-

ers can record interviews with their iPad, type up eld

notes while theyre fresh, bundle these and other relevant

documents into a hermeneutic unit, and begin selecting

and tagging relevant data segments.

Full PDF compatibility is one of the features that sets the

app apart from competitors. Want to start coding a news-

paper or relevant literature while on the train? ATLAS.ti

Mobile lets you get to work right away, wherever you are.

And if all that werent enough: ATLAS.ti Mobile is free of

charge and includes a manual and full support. As always,the developers welcome your feedback and even reward

users reviews with a 15% discount on program licenses

until the end of this year.

Participants were more than taken with the sleek graphics

and lean, intuitive design of the new app. In short: once

you see it, youll want to use it.

Methods and teaching

The manifest objective of the conference was to fosterdialog on qualitative methods. University professors and

instructors shared their take on the challenges of using

ATLAS.ti for different approaches, i.e. for top-down

and bottom-up project designs. Based on research

contributions and project descriptions, it quickly became

apparent that researchers are using ATLAS.ti to tackle

both types of challenges. From coding relatively standard-

ized documents using a pre-existing code scheme to more

emergent processes which involved extensive memo-ing

at the outset before a single code is assigned the

research examples ran the entire gamut. In his keynote,

Nick Woolf encouraged researchers to consider overarch-

ing questions such as which parts of their methodology

The venue

The ATLAS.ti confer-

ence was held in theformer Chamber of

Industry and Com-

merce (IHK) building,

designed by Franz

Heinrich Sobotka and

Gustav Mller and

constructed in the

early 1950s. Sobotka

and Mller were

among the most in-

uential architects in

West Berlin after the

Second World War,leaving their mark in the German capital with constructions such as

the Henry Ford Building in Dahlem or the imposing facilities of media

conglomerate Axel-Springer in the center of the city. Their work often

emphasized light and transparency, as well as creating a good t

with existing architectural ensembles. Today, the building is home to

the Center for Technology and Society (CTS), a notable interdisciplin-

ary research institute afliated with the Technical University, Berlin

(TU Berlin), which graciously provided its facilities for the conference.

ATLAS.ti has remained true to its roots: From its inception at the TU

Berlin in Charlottenburg and further development in the same district,

the company headquarters today are located only two blocks away,

still in the heart of Berlins City West.

require a strict, structured approach and which elements

might be less structured, e.g. in content analysis. Trena

Paulus tested ATLAS.tis suitability for approaches other

than grounded theory and concluded that the software

doesnt present any inherent restrictions that would ex-

clude its use by discourse analysts. Both of these research-

ers have upcoming publications, by the way, which are

already on our reading list!

Several ATLAS.ti veterans, including Ricardo Contreras

and Jeanine Evers, gave practical workshops on their

teaching experiences and special considerations for

integrating ATLAS.ti in the classroom as well as teaching

across cultures. Trena Paulus and Gerben Moerman also

spoke about crucial considerations such as reviewing stu-

dent HUs and tactics for getting students to concentrate

on the material, and not primarily the software.

Session chairs Neringa Kalpokaite, Ani Munirah, and Cs-

ar Cisneros with ATLAS.ti founder Thomas Muhr (center)

A number of participants attended a dedicated train-the-

trainer session, in which Susanne Friese spoke about her

substantial experience teaching ATLAS.ti . Susanne went

through a typical training course for beginners and ex-

pounded on practical and methodological considerations.

The nal verdict

Along with an impressive amount of tech-savvy, the par-

ticipants also brought to the table a strong awareness of

future challenges both for researchers and their tools

associated with social media and cloud computing. New

functions are to involve ethical considerations, such as

condentiality and data security. These concerns, together

with several new impulses, could be discussed throughout

the conference in direct interaction with ATLAS.ti devel-opers. Trena Paulus, University of Tennessee, praised the

high level of dialog, as did other attendees over the entire

course of the event. Many attendees, even long-time

ATLAS.ti users, were impressed by the active and dedi-

cated community that has evolved around this QDA tool.

Finally, the conference wrapped up with a brainstorming

session. Working in different groups, participants compiled

lessons learned in regards to applications and functions,

teaching and methods, and even future gatherings. Excel-

lent ideas were proposed for upcoming user conferences

the verdict: its not a question of if, but when and where!

Mea Kucha a QDA spin on a Tokyo expor

The second day of the confer-

ence closed with a brisk roundof Pecha Kucha, a format

conceived to reign in chatty

architects and other creative

types a decade ago in Tokyo.

Meanwhile, Pecha Kucha has

gone global. The principle:

With twenty PowerPoint slides

running on an automatic

timer and shown for only 20

seconds each, presenters have

no choice but to get to the

point.

These 400-second presenta-

tions also offer a lot of humor-

ous potential. Susanne Friese

opened the session by intro-

ducing the format. She then

presented her analysis of what

makes a winner in Pecha Kucha bundled in an ATLAS.ti project,

of course. Ani Munirah followed up with an inspiring rsum of her

work in popularizing ATLAS.ti in Malaysia.

Additional, informative and witty talks followed; the list of present-

ers was veritable Whos Who for the ATLAS.ti community. After an

impromptu Pecha Kucha presentation by ATLAST.ti creator Thomas

Muhr to wrap up the session, the audience voted on the winner.

While all the presenters added their own air to this truly challeng-

ing format, Gerben Moerman, faculty member at the University of

Amsterdam, was the clear standout. His presentation addressed the

purported homogenization of qualitative analysis through software,

an issue that was addressed in different variants throughout the

conference. In a deft combination of scholarly inquiry and physical

comedy, Gerben kept the audience members at the edge of their

seats. We hope that he brands this technique and would like to see it

spread to classrooms everywhere.

Meta Kucha: Susanne Frieses

presentation analyzed what goes

into a good Pecha Kucha talk, in

twenty slides!

What Conference Participants Say

To me, the rst ATLAS.ti international user conference was a great success. As expected

I learned about advanced options and techniques to help me streamline my use of the pro-

gram, and the variety of analyses presented by scholars from different disciplines all over the

world was inspiring. However, it was an unexpected pleasure to have personal contact with

the developers and programmers of the program, people who were never visible but have

enriched my research experience so greatly, and now had their ears wide open to hear what

other features I would like them to add to the program.

Vanessa Wijngaarden, doctoral student at the Bayreuth International School of African Studies(BIGSAS), University of Bayreuth, Germany

Meeting fellow delegates at the conference was a spectacular experience for me. I admired

every single minute of every session. Not only we exchanged ideas and experience on how to

use and teach ATLAS.ti, the experts and developers also made themselves available during the

sessions to address our queries and to take into account our suggestions and recommenda-

tions. Kudos to the conference chair and her entire team members.

Ani Munirah Mohamad, Universiti Utara Malaysia, Kedah, Malaysia

For me the conference on ATLAS.ti was an eye-opener concerning how we can use the tool

in the research team I am part of. My eld is linguistic ethnography and I have specializedin longitudinal studies involving numerous data types such as recordings, eld diaries, social

media interaction, etc. The many conference papers on projects viewed through a methodical

lens are going to be a huge inspiration on how I structure my own work in the future.

Janus Spindler Mller, Associate professor, University of Copenhagen

All participants I talked to agreed with me that the ATLAS.ti conference was a success for

many reasons: I met many interesting people and joined lots of inspiring presentations and

round tables. People came together who, on the one hand, have a variety of research topics

and academic backgrounds and, on the one hand, use ATLAS.ti in different ways. Neverthe-

less, our methodological challenges are often very similar. I am grateful to many participants

because I have learned so much I will benet from in my own research.

Michael Kolocek, University of Dortmund, Germany

I was very glad to be able to participate in the Conference and also had an opportunity to

meet the inventor and other user scholars. It was such a valuable experience. I believe that the

knowledge gained from this conference can be disseminated to other academics in Thailand.

Kanikar Sookasame, Thailand

What began like a far-fetched dream became a reality when i was accorded a chance to

meet face to face with the ATLAS.ti software designers. On the other hand is was inspiring to

meet the people who for the love of qualitative research were in attendance at this confer-

ence. I can safely say I have been ordained in the use of the software because it is not just

the using without knowing who and what is behind it. The journey in the use of ATLAS.ti in

my way of analyzing data has just begun.

Benson Banda, National Science Center, Zambia

I was very pleased to discover that ATLAS.ti can easily t into the departments softwarestack as an important complement to our otherwise mostly quantitative studies. Particularly

the Project Management scope of the software and the possibility for research groups to

work together on the same data was promising.

Michael Barner-Rasmussen, Head of IT at the Department of Scandinavian Studies, KUA

The results of the research New Technologies and Workloads of Health Care Professionals

were presented by Dr. Denise Pires, professor at the Federal University of Santa Catarina,

Brazil. The paper was prepared by Dr. Denise Pires, Dr. Eliane Matos, Dr. Eliana Pinho de

Azambuja, Dr. Letcia Trindade and Dr. Magda Scherer. It was a multiple case study per-

formed in two countries with the purpose to identify the inuence of technological innova-

tion on the workloads of health care professionals. The resources of the ATLAS.ti software

were used for data analysis and it was an important tool helping to get a better understand-

ing of a complex set of data.

Dra. Denise Pires, Departamento de Enfermagem, Centro de Cincias da Sade, UniversidadeFederal de Santa Catarina, Trindade Florianpolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil

I really enjoyed the ATLAS.ti conference in Berlin. It was great to meet so many ATLAS.ti

users and creators in real live and discuss research methods and tools. Beforehand I was

afraid to join in a sect of believers, with all of us agreeing on everything. It turned out that

the conference was very diverse. We had erce discussions and I saw people using the soft-

ware in ways I never thought of. The ATLAS.ti conference was so inspiring, that I hope to be

at the next one as well.

Gerben Moerman, Department of Sociology & Antropology, University of Amsterdam, TheNetherlands
