Qualitative researchers study text and context.  They collect interviews, write descriptions of people and contexts, observe behavior, tape and summarize focus groups.  Qualitative data are easily entered into EthnoNotes by importing, cutting and pasting from word processor documents, or direct typing.  Qualitative data are easily indexed, coded, highlighted, time stamped and organized in any of the ways researchers prefer.  If qualitative data are linked to individuals or cases in a study, quantitative data on those individuals or cases are readily linked to the qualitative data and fully integrated within EthnoNotes for data exploration from either direction.
