GTAMS Analyzer
Qualitative Research Software for the
Free World
GTAMS Analyzer is a complete coding and analysis package. It is a
"port" of TAMS Analyzer for Macintosh OS X. Note, at some point the two
projects will have identical file formats, at which point the
initial G (for GNUstep) will be dropped. GTAMS stands for GNUstep Text
Analysis Markup System, it is a convention for identifying themes in
text. The software offers a wide range of tools for applying themes to
texts and identifying patterns of themes within and between texts.
