Thank you for your response s. Rama Gokula Krishnan . Expanding on the topic of observation and qualitative data analysis, I'd like to ask: Are there any specific features or functionalities of NVivo that you find particularly helpful in your research or data analysis process? Additionally, are there any other software tools or approaches you would recommend for handling qualitative data and supporting interdisciplinary research?
In the past we used SAS and SPSS but then moved to R and Python. Not only are these languages much more versatile with better options for data presentation, more analytical capability and with lots of help and advice available across the Internet, but they are also free.

That's great. Transitioning from SAS and SPSS to R and Python for data analysis will indeed bring numerous advantages.
