NVivo for Staff

NVivo - Qualitative data analysis software, designed to help researchers manage, organise and analyze qualitative and mixed-methods data that is not easily reduced to numbers. In NVivo, you can create a project to store documents, organise documents, attach ideas to text, and find patterns among your ideas.

  • NVivo is a Volume-based (leased) Site License.
  • Licenses must be renewed on a per annum basis (August) for continued use.
  • Windows only.

Costs apply. NVivo is not funded as an ICT corporate contract. Usage/license costs are the responsibility of the relevant Faculty / School / Division / Centre (current license cost is $172.40 per annum).

ANNUAL license cost is based on the total number of licenses that CQUniversity holds over the 12 month period. The cost of individual licenses allocated throughout the academic year is pro-rated based on the remaining number of months in the current license year which begins August 1.

For example: Current cost of 12 month license is $172.40. Cost to allocate individual license at the start of January would be based on 7 months remaining to renewal date (August); therefore cost is calculated at 7/12 of $172.40.

  • Perpetual license: rights to automatic version upgrades.
  • Available across all campuses
  • Software may only be installed on machines owned, operated and/or within the immediate control of the University's faculty and staff.
  • Home use is permitted - must be an existing primary license holder and have some form of formal relationship with CQUniversity.
