Academinc Research

While EthnoNotes has been tested and implemented in a variety of research and education settings, meeting the specific needs of the academic research community is its original reason for being. As such, social scientists engaged in qualitative or integrated (mixed methods) research are sure to find EthnoNotes ideal for their projects.

Researchers at top Universities across the United States and around the globe have benefited from EthnoNotes as they collect, manage, code, manipulate, analyze, and interpret their qualitative and integrated data. EthnoNotes is designed to enhance the entire research process. Unlike many solutions that only help you with data management or analysis (leaving you with your results inside the program), EthnoNotes takes you all the way to report and presentation-ready output.

Tried and proven to be a successful solution in meeting the scientific standards of top research institutions, EthnoNotes is ready to help you and your teams more easily meet the demands of your work.


Education

EthnoNotes provides your students with their own site to learn firsthand how to do real qualitative and mixed methods research. The instructor can view and comment on each student’s work, assign grades and exercises, and post instructor examples, class assignments, and exercises. Not only that, but the instructor can also store material for future classes, download it for in-class distribution, and create unique exemplar teaching materials for any course. Departments need only pay for the actual number of students in a course for a given quarter or semester; instructor space and access is entirely free in association with a classroom account!

EthnoNotes is more than a great means for conducting student research and learning about the latest research methods, it’s also proven to be a great tool for meeting the practical needs of your students as they carry out their class assignments. They can:

  • Import or copy and paste their resource information into EthnoNotes.
  • Map their outlines into the code tree.
  • Mark up their resources based on you’re their own outline structure and content, or use one provided by the instructor or jointly constructed by student teams.
  • Export the results into a final paper.

Market Research

EthnoNotes is the ideal tool for conducting sophisticated, social science-driven market research. Its powerful excerpting, coding, and statistical tools enable you to easily integrate the qualitative data from one-on-one interviews, focus groups, and/or ethnographic studies with the quantitative data derived from surveys to yield new insights into your target markets. It is especially well-suited for the following types of market research projects:

  • Consumer Anthropology
  • Consumer Ethnography
  • Focus Group Analysis
  • One-On-One Interview Analysis
  • Integrated Interview and Survey Analysis
  • Sales and Marketing Summaries
  • Real-Time Data Presentations

Public Policy Research

The most effective policy research includes strong designs and methods, along with a qualitative story about the policy, history, and local context. EthnoNotes provides this tool. Your survey or epidemiological data can be linked directly to focus group or interview data from the same communities.
