This exploratory research project examines the feasibility of integrating AI-based analytical tools into qualitative research analysis.

The project specifically evaluates the reliability and accuracy of multiple AI analytical tools in conducting B′ and Smith’s Index analyses, with the aim of assessing whether these tools can support more accessible and scalable analytic approaches in future research.

Deliverables include detailed walkthroughs outlining the strengths and limitations of each AI analytical tool; tailored prompting strategies for effectively implementing B′ and Smith’s Index; and the dissemination of findings through peer-reviewed journal articles and conference poster presentations.
