“Instead of paying humans to join focus groups and complete surveys, #Auru uses thousands of #AI agents, or bots, to simulate human responses. It feeds #demographic and psychographic information into its models to create human profiles that match clients’ needs, and the results those bots spit out are being used for product #development, #pricing, identifying new customers and political #polling.”

Researchers have warned about the inaccuracies of treating #LLMs as human proxies (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10462-025-11297-5), but I wouldn’t be surprised #languageModels beat #qualitative interpretation of non-representative focus groups.

There are still spaces left in our free online QualCoder workshop next Thursday. As in free software, free data, free training. Open to anyone, no #virginiatech affiliation required. #qualitative #qdas Register at https://calendar.lib.vt.edu/event/15122195

Webinar: "Qualitative Open #Research: Meaningful Exchange and Mutual Learning."

Michelle Jamieson and Nicki Lisa Coole will present on what #qualitative open research means and how #positionality statements, a technique used by many qualitative researchers, can help opening up research processes independent of research methodologies.

Date: 16 October 2025
Time: 10-12 am (Amsterdam Time)

#QualitativeResearch #OpenScholarship

#Preregistration in #qualitative #research is still less common than in academic fields applying quantitative methods. However, it has benefits for the entire academic community. One publication that covers the topic in detail is Tamarinde L. Haven & Dr. Leonie Van Grootel (2019). Preregistering qualitative
research, Accountability in Research, 26:3, 229-244, DOI: 10.1080/08989621.2019.1580147

https://doi.org/10.1080/08989621.2019.1580147

On 26 September at 14 hrs, we* are co-organizing the #workshop: "Positionality statements: a tool to open Your research".

A lot of attention within the #OpenScience debate has been given to sharing research materials. This workshop focuses on opening up and sharing the decisions and assumptions underlying the research process of why, what and how studies are conducted. The event is aimed at both #qualitative and #quantitative researchers.

🖥️ We collected the #SocialMedia data from #Twitter from 2021 until 2023 and used #Rstats and #Python to perform analyses.

We used #IssueAttentionCycle framework with #qualitative and #quantitative approaches to examine how public discussions changed throughout the study period.

#introduction

My current focus is on the topics #ClimateChangeAdaptation, #DisasterRiskManagement, #RuralDevelopment, #HealthCareFinancing, #HealthSystem‎‎s.

#ResearchMethods: #MixedMethods & #MethodIntegration, #Quantitative & #Qualitative #Methods, #RigorousImpactEvaluation, #Causality, #Econometrics.

@envpsyvienna at #AlpsAdriaPsychologyConference in Klagenfurt. @leoniefian presents her research on perceptions of #microplastics in food and #plastic #policysupport, using #qualitative and #quantitative approaches. Key take-away: involve all actors in a system in #systemchange.

I've got something really special to share later this week - Episode 11 on my #CAQDASchat with Christina podcast is with the person who has had the biggest influence on my CAQDAS career, one of my very best friends and also one of my co-authors - YES - it's the awesome Ann Lewins.

Watch this space for when this episode drops

I wanted to share that I'm running some special online sessions in NVivo training. They are 2 hours, twice a week, and run for 4 weeks. Maximum of 10 people - so small numbers.

The 4 training sessions are recorded and accessible for up to 8 weeks after the course, and the other 4 sessions are basically a Zoom room where everyone comes together and has an opportunity to work on their own data.

The aim is that people can walk away with a clear idea on how to use and apply NVivo for their data analysis.

Here is a link to the sessions:

I tagged research data over multiple years.

There was an unintended outcome of tagging ALL observations from every Agile sprint—rather than only tagging observations that related to the current sprint's research focus…

As time passed, some of the qualitative data became quantitative as the sample size grew.

#qualitative #experiential #thematicAnalysis #survey

Lots of gems in this #mixedMethods preprint! Ranging from techniques for connecting nested data sources at different scales, to comparing individuals' reported actions with their actual behaviors, and even tricks for eliciting strong taste judgments during #qualitative interviews.

Amazing morning, just learned I can intensify my engagement with the #qdas #qualitative #data #analysis software #QualCoder via a direct chat with its developer this week to solve some frictions.

On that note, I look so much forward to seeing how my students @KAEEGoetheUni will engage with, make use of, this software over the next months.

I like it because it is #OpenSource, #free, and available across various platforms.

#Introduction post: I'm an academic at the boundary between #HCI and #InfoSci, who does #qualitative and #mixedmethods research.

I care about people, not tech, and want to see improving tech make lives better for everyone, not just the usual suspects.

I like books, cats, music, exercise and thinky conversations way too late at night.
