Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software for Scoping Reviews: A Case of ATLAS.ti

摘要

Little research has been undertaken on conducting literature reviews, such as systematic reviews, using qualitative software such as ATLAS.ti. Conversely, much research has been undertaken on how to conduct systematic reviews in terms of the practical steps required (Grant & Booth, 2009). This editorial introduces the use of computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software, ATLAS.ti, to conducting scoping reviews as one of the many approaches to systematic reviews. Although not many scholars have reported on the possibilities of using such software for analyzing theoretical work, a few scholars such as Paulus et al. (2014), Munirah Mohamad (2017), Smit (2005, 2018), and Wright (2014) have written about using ATLAS.ti for the literature review.
