The aim of this project is to provide a roadmap that will facilitate future analysis to the responses of the open ended questions from the PGR StudentSurvey.ie. The roadmap should enable promotion of the accessibility of results from the qualitative analysis of the data rich information that can be obtained from the responses to the PGR StudentSurvey.ie open-ended questions. This project will demonstrate the accessibility of the roadmap through analysing the unstructured qualitative data emerging from PGR StudentSurvey.ie since 2018. This project will use two packages to promote and encourage the future application of the roadmap provided – i.e., NVivo and RStudio. NVivo is a qualitative data analysis computer software package produced by QSR International. NVivo helps qualitative researchers to organise, analyse and find insights in unstructured or qualitative data like interviews, open-ended survey responses, journal articles, social media and web content (https://www.qsrinternational.com/). RStudio is a free and open source package that supports direct code execution, as well as tools for plotting, history, debugging and workspace management (https://rstudio.com/). The two packages have various advantages and disadvantages, to which a sample of these are summarised in Table 1. In order to promote the easy access to this project’s roadmap, the aim of the project is to perform the qualitative data analysis using both packages, so that PGR StudentSurvey.ie can promote and showcase both methods of the roadmap to satisfy respective Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) individual requirements.
