grounded theory

[Matthew Immergut]

Being new to Atlas and this list, I have noticed a great deal of talk about=
Grounded Theory. Is this the recommended method when using Atlas? If s=
o, can anyone give me, or direct me, to a brief synopsis of why this is s=
o.

Thank you
Matthew

GT is simply a 'method' that is very widely used in the social sciences. =
It is not required to use GT when working with ATLAS.ti. ATLAS.ti offers =
the tools to implement a GT analysis, but every other methodology that =
works on the basis of code-and-retrieve can also be implemented using =
the ATLAS:ti toolbox.
