This software will be useful to the ethnography method research, which collect data from varieties of sources. According to HyperRESEARCH website, this software allows the researchers to code and retrieve, build theories, and conduct analyses the data. Moreover it allows researchers share the files and documents with their team. When taking the quick tour, I found out HyperRESEARCH uses the easily format pattern, which is friendly to the savvy and non-savvy user. The software provides the tools that researchers could add the memo or annotation to any code reference in your study. This helps save time and provides the convenience to the researchers. They do not have to use other program. In the HyperRESEARCH website, it supplies the supports, such as Tutorial books, E-mail discussions, and discussion FORUM. The users could easily access to the information or suggestions. I took a look at HyperRESEARCH tutorial. The tutorial offers the step by step, including pictures. It is easily to follow. It also gives the sample study for exercise, which allows the users to practice follows the tutorial. The HyperRESEARCH provides the limited free trail version. This gives the users to test and learn before buying. At the end, I think the users have to remain ourselves the software is just the tool, which help us to work easier.
