The project aimed to develop new features in a researcher software for computer-assisted qualitative data analysis (CAQDAS). The software, named Requal, is a free and open-source CAQDAS application engineered as an interface for annotating text and qualitative data. Its primary objective is to enhance reproducibility in qualitative research by promoting transparency, openness, reflexivity, and collaboration. The application operates cross-platform in web browsers and is built with the Shiny framework for the R language environment. The project focused on additional features that would increase Requal’s capacity to handle data according to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles.
