Project Setup

Define your research project, questions, and methodology before uploading documents.

Welcome to ResearchLensPRO™ by Rontechmedia. This platform helps Ph.D. students, master's candidates, and researchers conduct rigorous content analysis — privately, entirely in your browser. Complete your research project information below before proceeding. You can enter multiple research questions and select your research methodology.  ·  📖 Read the User Documentation & Legal Disclaimer (PDF)
Research Project Information
Identify your study and researcher — this information will appear in your final reports
The problem statement defines the central issue your research addresses. It will be used to frame why your findings matter.
The scope prevents the report from drawing conclusions outside the boundaries of your actual study.
Theoretical Framework
The academic lens guiding your study — used to interpret findings and connect themes to theory
The framework is used to interpret findings through the correct research lens and to connect themes to academic literature.
Listed theories will be used to connect keywords, themes, and findings back to your academic foundation during report generation.
Research Methodology
Select the type of research you are conducting — this shapes how results are displayed
Qualitative
Themes · Codes · Excerpts · Narrative patterns · Meaning-making
✓
Quantitative
Frequency counts · Percentages · Charts · Statistical summaries
✓
Mixed Methods
Combines qualitative themes with quantitative frequency — full picture
✓
Qualitative mode: The system will focus on themes, codes, categories, supporting text excerpts, and narrative interpretation.
Research Questions
Add one or more research questions. Each will receive its own analysis, codes, and interpretation.

The engine scans every document and groups findings by research question.
→
04
Export Results
Download as CSV, JSON, or a full printable HTML research report.

Upload Documents

Upload .txt, .pdf, or .docx files for analysis.

Supported formats: .txt (plain text), .pdf (PDF documents), .docx (Word documents). All text is extracted locally in your browser. No files are sent to any server.
File Upload
Upload one or multiple documents
Drop files here or click to browse
.txt · .pdf · .docx files supported · Multiple files allowed

Code Terms

Enter keywords, phrases, or text excerpts to search for in your documents.

Enter each word, phrase, or exact text excerpt you want to track. Assign a type (keyword, phrase, exact quote, theme, code) and an optional color to each term to help organize your coding scheme.
Add Search Terms
Build your coding scheme
A definition helps the analysis engine understand context — synonyms, related concepts, and meaning — making the code stronger and more precise.

Qualitative Codebook

Create and manage codes or themes. Link keywords to codes and run frequency analysis per code.

How to use the Codebook: Create a code or theme with a name, description, and a list of related keywords or phrases. The system will search your uploaded documents for all keywords inside each code and calculate a combined code frequency. Run Analyze Codes after uploading documents to see results.

Survey & Transcript Data

Upload CSV surveys, paste interview transcripts, and label media files for analysis.

Multi-source data support: Upload CSV or Excel survey files, paste interview or focus group transcripts, and attach labels to audio/video files. All text sources are merged into the analysis engine. Audio and video files require a manual transcript — paste it below after uploading.
CSV / Excel Survey Upload

Manual Coding Workspace

Select excerpts from uploaded documents, assign codes, link to research questions, and mark evidence status.

Qualitative coding requires human judgment. Browse your document text, select meaningful excerpts, assign codes from the codebook, and mark whether each excerpt supports, contradicts, or is neutral toward your research question. This is what separates real research from keyword counting.
Document Text Viewer
Select a document to read and code excerpts from it
Upload documents first, then select one above to view its text here. Highlight any passage, then click "Capture Selected Text" to begin coding.
Coded Excerpts

Evidence Matrix

Structured table connecting Research Questions, Themes, Codes, Sources, Evidence Status, and Strength.

Evidence Strength Rule: Strong = 3+ sources, multiple supporting excerpts, linked to RQ. Moderate = 2+ occurrences. Weak = single source, low frequency. Missing = no evidence linked to the RQ.
📊
Matrix not built yet
Run analysis and add coded excerpts, then click Build Matrix.

Theme Development

Group codes into categories and themes. Link themes to research questions and generate interpretive paragraphs.

Workflow: Code → Category → Theme → Finding → Research Question Answer. Build themes by grouping your codes, then link each theme to a research question for the final report.
🧩
No themes created yet
Click Add Theme to begin grouping your codes into interpretive themes.

Contradiction & Negative Case Review

Identify conflicting evidence, opposing terms, and negation patterns that challenge your findings.

⚠ Research Integrity Warning: Contradictory evidence should never be ignored. This panel identifies excerpts you marked as "Contradicts," negation language (not, never, failed, unable), and opposing concept pairs in your corpus. Acknowledge all contradictions in your final report.

Run analysis, add coded excerpts, then click Run Scan to detect contradictions.

Save / Load Project

Save your entire research project as a JSON file and reload it later to continue your work.

The project file preserves your research questions, codebook, coded excerpts, themes, evidence matrix, memos, and analysis results. Your document text is included so you can continue manual coding after reloading.

Research Integrity Checklist

Confirm all critical steps before exporting your final report. This protects the validity of your research.

⚠ Critical Research Warnings:
  • Frequency does not equal importance. A word appearing often does not automatically answer a research question.
  • OCR may misread scanned documents. Always verify extracted text manually.
  • Rule-based interpretation must be reviewed by the researcher before reporting as findings.
  • Contradictory evidence should never be ignored or omitted from the final report.
  • This application supports analysis but does not replace researcher judgment.

Click "Run Integrity Check" to evaluate your project
The system will review your project setup, codebook, manual coding, evidence matrix, themes, and contradictions.
