One up on old school, these programs were made specifically to help organize and analyze qualitative data.
#AQUAMINDS NOTETAKER 1.9 SOFTWARE#
Word documents can always be imported into other analytical software packages, and as David Slater from Sophia University Tokyo pointed out, has a “fields” command that can be used to code fieldnotes. Good old MS Word was also recommended by a number of anthropologists, largely because of its wide compatibility. While I recommend digitized note-taking to my students, I still tell them that they should always carry around a pen and notebook, for those impromptu jottings and diagrams old school still works! Following the Lifehacker mode of “talk among yourselves,” I’ll list some of the suggestions with some comments and URL’s to check out.įirst, there is the method that no one (including me) on the EASIANTH listserve brought up – pen and notebooks. In terms of fieldnote taking, everyone, like opinions, seems to have their own method. Apologies for the double-posting, but I thought sharing some of the suggestions with the Savage Minds community would be useful. A couple of weeks ago, on the East Asian Anthropology Listserve, there was a brief flurry of emails in response to a query about what software works best for taking fieldnotes.
