HyperRESEARCH has been an indispensable resource for us. To do qualitative research by hand as it used to be done would be an enormous undertaking. We have somewhere in the vicinity of 5,000 pages of transcribed interviews. If we didn't have the HyperRESEARCH software, we never would have been able to do it. We would have needed to have probably four or five research assistants.

HyperRESEARCH was first developed in 1990 by Dr. Sharlene Hesse-Biber, T. Scott Kinder, and Paul Dupuis. At the time, there were few CAQDAS (Computer-Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Software) programs available, and none that met Dr. Hesse-Biber's needs. The three teamed up to develop a program that would meet Dr. Hesse-Biber's needs. ResearchWare, Inc. was incoroprated in 1991 to allow HyperRESEARCH to become a commercial product available to other researchers.

Since then, HyperRESEARCH has grown through several versions, expanding and improving in response to user feedback.

Demonstrating our commitment to our customers, we deliver many free upgrades to our products, not just maintenance releases but versions with new features as well.

ResearchWare remains committed to continued development and improvement of HyperRESEARCH, HyperTRANSCRIBE, and other tools supporting qualitative data analysis. Our goal is to retain the user-friendly design and ease of use that reduces the learning curve for researchers just starting out with CAQDAS programs, while continuing to expand and improve the features and capabilities of HyperRESEARCH.

HyperRESEARCH aids in understanding the role of Online Feature Journalists

HyperRESEARCH aids in understanding the role of Online Feature Journalists.

"The Shaping of an online feature journalist" by Steen Steensen (Oslo University College, Norway, steen.steensen@jbi.hio.no) in Vol. 10, No. 5, pp 702-718 (2009) of Journalism "explores the professional role and normative demands of online feature journalists. Through a longitudinal ethnographic case study of the work practices of feature journalists in the Norwegian online newspaper dagbladet.no, the article uncovers how the normative demands of a new professional role are negotiated within the online newsroom of a newspaper. It further reveals how the role of journalists is shaped by two axes: a historical axis of factors that have shaped the role of journalists throughout history, and a contemporary axis of the particulars of labour in modern society at large. The findings suggest that online feature journalists practise a more audience-driven and source-detached kind of journalism than their print counterparts. They further suggest that the remediation of feature journalism online yields increased status to the role of online journalists at large."
