MAXQDA is a computer-assisted qualitative data analysis (CAQDAS) application used for qualitative and mixed methods research. Developed and distributed by VERBI Software in Berlin, Germany, it runs on Windows and macOS and supports projects containing textual materials, PDFs, images, audio and video (including transcripts), and structured survey data. Its functions include organizing and coding source materials, writing memos, retrieving and querying coded segments, managing cases and associated variables, and producing tables and visualizations. The software also supports inter-coder agreement checks and mixed methods workflows that link qualitative codes to numerical attributes.
