NUBiP of Ukraine: AI-assisted grounded theory categorisation across 35 literature sources

Evidano is AI software for qualitative data analysis. In a 2025 journal article led from the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, researchers used it for grounded theory categorisation, then applied their own judgment to the results. AI-assisted qualitative analysis is moving from experimental to published practice.

The study used Evidano, then published as AILYZE.

The study

Verbal Dimensions of Gender-Equality in Contemporary Speech Forms: Issues and Opportunities. OIDA International Journal of Sustainable Development, Vol. 18(11), pp. 321–330 (2025). A comparative linguistic study of gender-inclusive language strategies in English and Ukrainian, using grounded theory, content analysis, and discourse analysis across official, scientific, and public communication.

Five co-authors from four institutions took part, including Sumy State Pedagogical University and Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

How Evidano fit the workflow

The publication describes a sequential, AI-assisted grounded theory workflow.

  1. 1
    Identify initial categories

    At the first stage of sample formation, the authors applied Evidano to surface initial categories from the source pool.

  2. 2
    Refine search and selection

    Those categories guided the final literature search and selection, reaching a sample of 35 sources.

  3. 3
    Researchers interpret

    Pairing grounded theory and content analysis with the AI tool, the authors report it contributed to reducing internal bias, leaving interpretation to the researchers.

“At the first stage of sample formation, we applied AILYZE – AI-based software tool for grounded theory research. This allowed us to identify initial categories for further search.”
— From the publication, Methods section (AILYZE is now Evidano)
“The categories obtained with the help of AILYZE were used for final search and selection of literature.”
— From the publication, Methods section
“The sequential use of grounded theory and content analysis, supported by an AI-based solution, helped to eliminate inherent biases in the publications.”
— From the publication, Conclusions

The workflow shift

Manual only

Manual scanning of every source. Categories shaped by prior assumptions. Slow preliminary coding. Higher risk of internal bias.

With Evidano

AI-assisted initial categorisation. Data-driven initial categories. Automated preliminary coding. Reported support for bias reduction.

Transparent, disclosed use

The AI tool was named transparently in a published methods section.

A research assistant, not a replacement

Researchers kept critical thinking and interpretation in their own hands.

Built for grounded theory

Described as an AI-based software tool for grounded theory research.

Supports bias reduction

The authors report the AI-backed workflow helped reduce internal bias.
