HyperRESEARCH™ enables you to code and retrieve, build theories, and conduct analyses of your data. Now with advanced multimedia capabilities, HyperRESEARCH allows you to work with text, graphics, audio, and video sources — making it an invaluable research analysis tool.
HyperRESEARCH is a solid code-and-retrieve data analysis program, with additional theory building features provided by the Hypothesis Tester.
HyperRESEARCH has been in use by researchers in the Social Sciences and other fields since it was first introduced in 1991. The latest version incorporates features and interface design decisions inspired by years of feedback from our customers and reviewers.

HyperRESEARCH is fully cross-platform. You can trade your study files and sources with other HyperRESEARCH users on your team whether they use Mac OS X or Windows. |
What's New in HyperRESEARCH 2.8?
The new Code Frequency Report allows you to instantly review code frequency as well as the maximum, minimum, mean, and standard deviation of each code's distribution among the cases in your study.
Windows Vista is now well supported with native appearance and performance to better integrate with Microsoft's latest operating system.
 The Mac version is now in Universal Binary format for
native performance on Apple's new Intel-based Macs,
while still remaining compatible with Macs using G4 and G3 chips.
We've also added new contextual (right-click) menus for greater convenience when copying and pasting annotations, added new pagination control for reports, and more.
What was added in HyperRESEARCH 2.7?
Code Stripes, a graphical enhancement making it easy to identify coded segments of text at a glance.
Completely revised Code Map, an integrated tool for creating simple concept maps, now supports multiple code maps which can include memos and imported images.
Optional automatic backups of data files, with a convenient inteface for restoring older files if needed.

The free version of HyperRESEARCH has all features enabled with no time limit. The only limitation is the number of codes and cases that can be used in a study:
- The Master Code List is limited to 75 codes.
- A Study is limited to 7 cases.
- Each case can have no more than 50 code instances.
These limits make this free version suitable for teaching the basics of qualitative research without requiring students to purchase the full package.

Who uses HyperRESEARCH?
- Social Sciences: Assists with performing qualitative analysis of textual or multi-media data collected during intenstive or focus grous interviews. Allows researchers from several projects or the same project to merge their data.
- Marketing and Political Research: Quickly analyzes major themes from focus group data to ascertain the major issues or themes that emerge from group discussion.
- Medicine: Assists with medical diagnoses by enabling doctors and nurses to look for common elements across clinical cases. Multi-media analysis of clinical data adds important information for clinical diagnosis and provides powerful multi-media presentation of clinical cases for classroom teaching.
- Law: Enables lawyers to analyze court transcripts and records.
HyperRESEARCH Provides:
- Easy-to-use Interface: HyperRESEARCH offers the same intuitive case-based interface on all supported platform. Our customers tell us that HyperRESEARCH is so easy to learn and use that it lets them focus more on their research, and minimizes the need for costly workshops and further software instruction. It provides a turnkey solution by employing a built-in help system and several tutorials with step-by-step instructions. The functional simplicity and reliability of the software combined with its powerful advanced features make HyperRESEARCH an excellent tool for qualitative researchers at any level.
- Fully Cross-Platform: The latest version of HyperRESEARCH is designed from the ground up to work well on Microsoft Windows® and Apple's OS X®. We deliver a consistent experience on both platforms while adhering to the conventions users expect on each. The HyperRESEARCH study file format and all of the various media types supported will work equally well regardless of which operating system you use.
- Multi-Media Capabilities: HyperRESEARCH allows you to work with text, graphics, audio, and video source material in any of these popular formats:

- Comprehensive Code-and-Retrieve Functions: HyperRESEARCH allows you to select any chunk of text (from 1 character to an entire file) and apply any number of code names to the chunk. Recall your codes by name, or select them based on proximity to other codes. View codes in context, in the margin of your Source Text window; or create an exportable report that organizes the specific data you ask for by case or by code name. Reports can be hyperlinked back to the original source material.
- Code Annotation and Descriptions (Memoing): Select a code reference on a case card, click the Annotate button, and add up to 64,000 characters of information per reference. Use the Code List Editor to enter a code definition for any of your master codes. Great for quick reference when decided exactly which code to apply to a source chunk — especially when several researchers are working on the same study.
- Flexible Autocoding: Autocode multiple sources to multiple cases, looking for multiple phrases in a single pass. Specify a number of characters, words, or lines before and/or after the found phrases to be included in the chunk selected for autocoding.
- Code Mapping: Use the Code Map Window to graphically represent relationships between your master codes.
- Hypothesis Testing: Unique to HyperRESEARCH it its Hypothesis tester, which applies rule-based "expert systems" techniques to perform in-depth analyses of your coded data to see whether the coding supports your hypothesis.
-
- Shared Workflow: In addition to supporting the researcher working alone, HyperRESEARCH offers features that make it easy to share work with your team. You can export and import your master code list so research assistants can help code specific cases, and you can copy those cases to paste into your master study with no additional software needed. And because all of HyperRESEARCH's files are fully cross-platform, it doesn't matter which operating system your teammates use.
- Customizable Welcome Screen: In HyperRESEARCH 2.6 we've added a customizable Welcome screen which lets instructors give immediate access to specified study files in a lab environment. In conjunction with the Free Teach Edition, this provides a solution for instructors teaching the basics of using qualitative sotware at no cost to the university.
"We love the software and It is truly enabling to use
to manage and analyze a mountain of data."
