It then explores and discusses scholarly articles in the field of English for specific and academic purposes that were published in five renowned journals and employed these two software packages. The analysis of these studies contributes to mapping the main features of computer assisted qualitative research in the field and reveals that the research of the language, discourse and genres that occur in academic settings can be efficiently supported and successfully enhanced by current software.
