The OpenQDA team announces the release of version 1.0.3 of their qualitative communication and media research software (open source)

25.09.2025 11:52 | Anonymous member (Administrator)

Based on our own needs regarding collaborative work, methodological expansion, fair data usage, and support for open research processes, ZeMKI, the Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research, University of Bremen, has been developing OpenQDA since January 2023. You can use the software at https://openqda.org/ and find the source code and developer documentation at https://github.com/openqda.

The OpenQDA team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.0.3. OpenQDA has been enhanced with new features, which are now available at https://openqda.org. Below, we would like to introduce these features:

1) Project Management

The listed projects now show how many documents (sources) are already available in each project. In addition, the project overview now also offers the option of selecting documents, allowing you to immediately proceed to editing (Preparation Editor) a document. 

2) Visualizations

All visualizations have been revised and expanded to include various parameterizations. This allows visualizations to be customized even more extensively to suit your specific needs.

3) Feedback and Help Form

It is now possible again to open a dialog for an integrated form via the navigation bar. This enables low-threshold contact with the OpenQDA team without requiring, for example, an account on another platform such as GitHub.

4) Documentation

The user documentation at https://openqda.github.io/user-docs/ has also been expanded to include the above-mentioned features.

Support OpenQDA

We welcome any form of feedback via all available channels (see below) as well as any form of participation in software development and documentation. If you have a GitHub account, you are also welcome to support us with a star.
