Its functions include organizing and coding source materials, writing memos, retrieving and querying coded segments, managing cases and associated variables, and producing tables and visualizations. The software also supports inter-coder agreement checks and mixed methods workflows that link qualitative codes to numerical attributes. [3]

MAXQDA Standard

The standard version of MAXQDA[4] for macOS and Windows offers tools for the organisation and analysis of qualitative data. This includes text, audio, image, video and bibliographical files as well as survey data, Twitter tweets or focus group transcripts. The data can be analysed in a four-screen window with the help of codes and memos. MAXQDA includes some quantitative data analysis tools (e.g. Mixed Methods tools[5]).

MAXQDA Analytics Pro

MAXQDA Analytics Pro is an edition of MAXQDA that combines the core qualitative and mixed methods features with MAXDictio (for quantitative content analysis) and a statistics module (“Stats”). The Stats module provides tools to analyze data from MAXQDA projects - such as codes, cases, and variables - using descriptive statistics and cross-tabulations, and can also work with external datasets imported from spreadsheet files or SPSS formats.[6]
