Every single researcher I have discussed this with (and they are now in the hundreds) has found some benefit in this, so I had to share it with you. I originally began writing this blog post about teamwork and my recent experiences in seeing how important it is to clarify the definitions of codes when working in teams.īut I now realize that such advice applies to all researchers, in all disciplines, studying all manner of topics. If there are multiple people working in a team, individual members can check each other´s coding.In this post, Dr Jenine Beekhuyzen explains the importance of a codebook when working in a research team. Have good notes with descriptions of individual codes. Check the the whole dataset for the definitional drift.

If you code a large dataset the data at the beginning may be coded slightly different than material coded later. Checking for definitional drift in coding.According to Gibbs (2007) several techniques to control coder reliability exist:Īn independent researcher goes through coded texts and considers the degree to which coders differed from each other. A part of coding procedures is concerned with reviewing the quality of the coding process. Coders must undertake a training, where they are instructed about the specific coding design and coding rules. For each study coding procedures must be carefully planned and a specific coding design and guidelines must be established. ContributorsĬoding textual information is a complicated cognitive process and the coder is necessarily a significant influence on the coding process.
