Download the free MAXQDA Reader
Viewing and understanding project data without a MAXQDA license
Everyone can now view, search for, browse and “dig through” data using the MAXQDA-Reader. However, data editing and coding of a project is still only available to MAXQDA license holders.
What is the purpose of the Reader?
- Knowledge Management - All knowledge resources (for example in organizations) can be made available to specific target groups without manipulation of the data.
- Evaluation - Examiners are able to easily see and understand their student’s project data.
- Research Centers, Museums or Libraries - Data may be made accessible without really “giving up the wheel”.
- Teaching - Professors can view their students’ project data in order to comment on their work. Real project read-only files allow to track and discuss distinct stages of the qualitative data analysis process.
- Teamwork - Teams can track and discuss several stages and steps throughout the analytical process on un-editable files. This way it is possible to distribute material within a research facility.
Functions

"MAXQDA was essential in completing the analysis for my dissertation. The weighting, color coding, and ability to move groups of coded segments made the analytical process much easier than other methods I've used in the past. I have shown the program to a number of other doctoral students and they were amazed at the ease of use and flexibility of the program. Most of them wanted to know why this software is not mentioned in research classes. […]. I absolutely LOVE this program and will use it in my professional life as well to analyze focus group information, complaint data, etc. […]. I am sure that I have only begun to tap the power of this program. I highly recommend it for anyone who is doing qualitative research and has to analyze transcripts, documents, etc."
