An assessment of developments in the use of computers in qualitative research, an increasingly important area of interest for social scientists and graduate students. The contributors consider whether systematic and formal techniques will change the nature of qualitative research and whether the new techniques offer the prospect of achieving a generic theory of qualitative analysis. They also draw on their experiences of teaching computer-based techniques in qualitative research to suggest ways in which they could be incorporated into research methods training.
