How to quickly understand the platform

On DiVoMiner® platform, projects are divided into learning projects (permanently free) and research projects (subscription). Both have identical functionality modules, with differences in data volume, category limits and associated account numbers.

  • Each learning project has a limit of 1000 data items, 50MB file storage space, 10 categories maximum, 1 administrator account, and 4 coder accounts.
  • In research project (standard), the data limit is extended to 100,000 items, file storage space is increased up to 10GB, the maximum number of categories is raised to 100, and supports 1 administrator account and 6 coder accounts. Check out subscription plans

You can choose different versions of projects based on your needs. It is recommended to first use a learning project to familiar with the DiVoMiner platform and its operating procedures. Then, you can purchase a research project to start your in-depth research journey!
