CISNEROS PUEBLA, César A.. Computer-assisted qualitative analysis. Sociologias [online]. 2003, n.9, pp. 288-313. ISSN 1517-4522.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1517-45222003000100010.

The aims of this article are: on the one hand, to present an approximation to the Hispano-American experience on Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS), grouping as a systematization exercise the works carried out by several colleagues from related disciplines. Although attempting to be exhaustive and thorough - as in any attempt at systematizing experiences - this exercise presents clear lacks and omissions. On the other hand, to introduce some theoretical reflections about the role played by CAQDAS in the development of qualitative investigation after that systematization, with a specific focus on data generation.
