The authors named Evidano (previously AILYZE) directly in their methods section, with full attribution. An example of transparent, traceable AI use in a published research workflow.
How Evidano fit the workflow
- 1Qualitative input
Open-ended survey responses from the participating teachers.
- 2Inductive thematic analysis in Evidano
Themes identified across the entire dataset.
- 3Reported output
Findings synthesized into a report on the program's effectiveness.
“The analysis was conducted using AILYZE software, employing an inductive approach to identify themes across the entire dataset.”
“This method avoids the limitations of traditional coding by capturing broader themes and complex discussions, ensuring consistent theme detection and speeding up the analysis process.”
Why researchers are looking
Slow, line-by-line coding. Risk of inconsistent theme detection. Harder to capture complex discussions.
Inductive themes across the whole dataset. Consistent theme detection. Faster, with researcher oversight.
Benefits above reflect how the publication describes the analysis method.

AcademiaResearchers at Oxford and Melbourne used AI to analyse their interview data
Evidano helped analyse interview transcripts in a peer-reviewed study, then was checked against manual coding.
AcademiaA Stanford-led study used AI to cross-check its qualitative coding
A published mixed-methods study uploaded deidentified transcripts into Evidano to cross-check themes. Every AI code was reviewed by the researcher.
