The future qualitative data analysis tools could play a better role in social science studies thanks to their powerful data coding and theoretical construction functions We should improve Nvivo-applied research from the perspectives of scientific research cooperation, step normalization, method diversification, and data diversity. (III)Application object.These researches focused on grounded theory, qualitative research and content analysis, and the leading researchers were from public administration, library and information science, and journalism communication. Less than 10% of Nvivo-applied research included four steps of data coding, coding test, coding analysis and theoretical modeling. However, the links between research teams and institutions were rather weak.(II) Application process.More than 80% of the methods were content analysis for non-obtrusive designs and interview for obtrusive designs. Over the last decade, Nvivo-applied research had been growing rapidly in China. We used the content analysis method to encode the sample literature, and then analyzed the application status of qualitative data analysis tools.

A total of 327 sample articles were retrieved from 2008 to 2018 with manual cleaning. We used “Nvivo” as the keyword to search in CNKI database. This paper systematically reviews Nvivo-applied research in Chinese social science. At present, massive unstructured data has emerged on a large scale, which makes effective use of qualitative data analysis tools increasingly important.
