    Quirkos Getting started guide Version 2.4 (November 2020) 1 Contents Introduction p2 Installation p3 Your first project p4 Button by button guide p6 Step-by-step guide p7 Exports and reports p12 Tips and Tricks p13 Next Steps p14 2 Introduction Quirkos is a simple and visual tool to help with the qualitative analysis of text data. It is identical on Windows, Mac and Linux, so this guide applies to all platforms. Here are a few things to bear in mind as you learn Quirkos for the first time: Quirkos can store your projects in our secure cloud server, or in one project file on your computer. Everything is in one file for easy backup and sharing. Quirkos saves your work as you go, so there is no manual save button, but no risk of losing your work. Add your data to the project from txt, rtf, csv, Word (docx) or PDF files, or copy and paste from any other source. Describe your sources in any way with the source properties, such as age or gender, or type of source and comments. Your themes or topics are shown as bubbles on the left side of the screen. As you drag and drop sections of text to them they will grow. Drag and drop text onto the Memos column to add a note and record your thoughts and observations At any stage of your coding, you can create many different types of exports: detailed reports, coded transcripts for Word, or spreadsheets for statistical analysis. 3 Installation You can download the full version of Quirkos from our website, or from one of our USB sticks.

  • Quirkos 2.1: Distinguishing Features and Functions
    Software Reviews: Quirkos 2.1 Quirkos 2.1: Distinguishing features and functions This document is intended to be read in conjunction with the ‘Choosing a CAQDAS Package Working Paper’ which provides a more general commentary of common CAQDAS functionality. This document does not provide an exhaustive account of all the features and functions provided by Quirkos but is designed to highlight some of its distinguishing elements. The Comment section at the end details our opinions on certain aspects of functionality and usability. See also Silver & Lewins (2014) Using Software in Qualitative Research: A Step-by-Step Guide, Sage Publications and software developer website. This document reviews Quirkos version 2.1. Many thanks to Daniel Turner for reviewing this document for accuracy. Background http://www.quirkos.com/ Quirkos was developed by Daniel Turner and colleagues in response to what they saw as frustrations with existing CAQDAS packages ■ The company Quirkos was founded in 2013 and the public release of the first version of the software was in October 2014 ■ Developmental impetus was framed by a desire to design tools that open up qualitative analysis to everyone. The aim of Quirkos therefore is to provide software that is accessible to those without extensive research experience, as well as those working within professional research contexts, that is easy to use and that works across platforms ■ The pricing structure for Quirkos is considerably lower than most other CAQDAS packages ■ Quirkos works on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms ■ Quirkos runs on a local installation of the software ■ Future development will include a collaborative cloud version enabling team-members to work concurrently on the same Quirkos project.

Special thanks go to the staff at Texas Tech. I truly had fun working with Mr. Jerry C. De Baca and Pam Knighten-Jones. The editorial service provided by Barbi Dickensheet in the Graduate School is second to none. The financial support provided by KPMG Peat Marwick is greatly appreciated. Mr. Bernard Milano, Ms. Tara Perino, and all the wonderful people at the foundation are angels in their own right.
