The article I wrote comparing the use of Inspiration and Decision Explorer
with NUD*IST 4 is at www.taggoram.co.uk/nudist/nudinsde.html.
There are two mind mapping tools with specific links from NUD*IST:
Inspiration & Decision Explorer.
Personally for straightforward mind mapping I prefer Inspiration - I also
find the way in which you can export the map as an outline in RTF for
import into say Word very useful for converting a mind map into an article.
Decision Explorer is a powerful qualitative research tool in its own right
and if you want to use cognitive mapping is the one to choose.
Decision Explorer is available from Sage, we supply Inspiration to
qualitative researchers (together with some instructions on how to get the
NUD*IST index tree out as a map).
Both packages have demos which allow you to produce maps of NUD*IST
projects but not print them. The demos are downloadable from the web
(www.sagepub.co.uk for Decision Explorer or www.inspiration.com for
Inspiration) and are included with instructions in our NUD*IST distance
learning course.
