Name the document using ‘Author’ and ‘Year’ as the nomenclature (i.e., Shaw 2017). With NVivo open, create a new document by clicking on the ‘Create’ tab, then select ‘Document’ this will be stored in ‘Source’, ‘Internal’ (see figure 1).
If this is your first review then you will need to create a new NVivo file, I recommend you name it the subject area you are focusing on. Before all else you will need to copy the citation of the article you are reviewing so that it can be pasted into NVivo, this will help you remember where the document came from. I use a reference management platform called Refworks, I will be explaining its use in my next article. An important aspect of the process is managing your references. These could be journal articles, books, reports, websites or a range of other documents. The first thing you must do is identify the appropriate literature to read. The two videos below are short presentations of the process and the remainder of the blog will give you a step-by-step guide. It uses the principles of thematic analysis so you will also gain an excellent overview of that aspect of qualitative analysis. NVivo will make the process more effective and efficient.
Also, as a future researcher you will need to revisit many of the articles you have read to produce your own journal submissions. You might be asking, ‘why do I need to do this?’ Well, as a doctoral researcher you will be reading literally hundreds of articles and you’ll need some mechanism to file and capture the relevant bits.

The examples I give are based on the NVivo for Mac platform which is a slightly different version to the Windows option, the principles and processes however remain the same.
