Nvivo 11 is the software I am using for my literature review paper and for my literature review chapter in my thesis. Need to understand better this software
This is a bit different. Nodes are generally themes which you identify in literature. For example: If you identify research gaps in literature then you create node as "research gap". In other articles or paper you can find similar research gaps which you can code in same node "research gaps". Each paper or article can be coded as case which gives you set of information from a source. Case node is useful when you want to create tables as
Research Gap 1 Research gap 2 Research gap 3
Article 1
Article 2
Article 3
Article 4
In this way you can compare and contrast the research gaps for your thesis.
