Dear #QualitativeResearch people! 🎙️
We need your help - more specifically, your exported projects 🙂 We're working on a way to liberate qualitative projects from Closed, proprietary software such as NVivo, Atlas, MaxQDA, Dedoose, etc.
This project will allow converting projects exported to the REFI-QDA file format to the Reproducible Open Coding Kit project format, which is much more accessible, much simpler to work with in other software, and so lends itself better for #OpenScience.

If you use proprietary qualitative analysis software, it would be great if you can help. To test and improve this new software ({qualchemy} 🔮), we need two things: 1️⃣ More exported projects (in REFI-QDA format) file so we can test imports; 2️⃣ Tests where a project exported by {qualchemy} is imported into proprietary software. In return, we will happily give you an intro re: the Reproducible Open Coding Kit (the ROCK 🤘) and help you open up your projects if you want. 🧵 2/3
