ATLAS.ti is currently available for the Windows desktop version (Version 9.0), Mac desktop version (Version 9.0), Android mobile, iPad version, as well as the Cloud version. The methodological roots of ATLAS.ti lie in - but are not restricted to grounded theory, content analysis. A first commercial version of ATLAS.ti was released in 1993 to the market by company "Scientific Software Development," later ATLAS.ti Scientific Software Development GmbH.
With XML, the proprietary nature of most software systems can be mitigated. To support multi-method multi-user projects across space and time (longitudinal studies), project data export using XML is available. In addition, it provides analytical and visualization tools designed to open new interpretative views on the material. ĪTLAS.ti is used by researchers and practitioners in a wide variety of fields including anthropology, arts, architecture, communication, criminology, economics, educational sciences, engineering, ethnological studies, management studies, market research, quality management, psychology, sociology, and social work.ĪTLAS.ti consolidates large volumes of documents and keeps track of all notes, annotations, codes and memos in all fields that require close study and analysis of primary material consisting of text, images, audio, video, and geo data. The program provides tools that let the user locate, code, and annotate findings in primary data material, to weigh and evaluate their importance, and to visualize the often complex relations between them. The purpose of ATLAS.ti is to help researchers uncover and systematically analyze complex phenomena hidden in unstructured data (text, multimedia, geospatial).
