There are a variety of software packages that can assist with your research.
Computer software packages are available for the analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data. You should seek advice about their research design and proposed analysis in the early phase of planning to identify which approaches to analysis will be most appropriate.
When interpreting any statistical analysis you should consider the limitations of their methods. The quality and reliability of the results, which are obtained with computing assistance, will only be as good as the quality and accuracy of the inputs and the appropriateness of the software used.
It is strongly recommended that you use bibliographic software such as EndNote, or similar, to manage your references and produce their thesis or project citations and bibliography. For the maximum benefit, we recommend that you use EndNote from the beginning of your study.
For more information, visit the EndNote web page.
