LibreQDA

LibreQDA is a Qualitative Data Analysis tool that has been developed alongside with the Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona and the Universidad de la República Oriental del Uruguay.

LibreQDA is what is commonly known in the psychology area as Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS). This tool allows the users to log in, import documents from different formats and assign valuable metadata to them.

Once documents are opened, the user can select portions of them, tag them and codify them using a hierarchic coding system. Using its own query engine LibreQDA can perform advanced queries in order to get relevant information and analytics.

LibreQDA is created to be an open source alternative to other Qualitative Data Analysis Software such as MAXQDA and Atlas.ti. LibreQDA allows the users to log in, import documents from different formats and assign valuable metadata to them.

Once documents are opened, the user can select portions of them, tag them and codify them using a hierarchic coding system. Using its own query engine LibreQDA can perform advanced queries in order to get relevant information and analytics.

The project was completely developed using Python/Django, bootstrap for front end and a good amount of javascript libraries to create a clean and responsive UI. LibreQDA is now available for users to check and play around in github under the GNU - AGPL license.
