Hello internet researchers, Those of you who use content analysis in your research might be interested in a recent project of mine: ReCal ("reliability calculator"), an online utility that calculates several intercoder reliability coefficients for nominal data. It is available at http://dfreelon.org/utils/recalfront/ . Here is a short feature list: * Calculates the following reliability coefficients: * percent agreement * average pairwise percent agreement (for 3+ coders) * Scott’s Pi * Cohen’s Kappa * Fleiss' Kappa * Krippendorff’s Alpha * Accepts any range of possible variable values * Can calculate reliability for multiple variables at a time (2 coders only) * Displays all possible pairwise percent agreements, making it easier to root out rogue coders (3+ coders only) * Results should be valid for nominal data coded by any number of coders There are other solutions available, but PRAM is Windows-only (ReCal is written in PHP, so it's cross-platform) and the various macros floating around the web for SPSS, STATA, R, and the like are only useful if you have easy access to those applications. ReCal is fast, free, and (hopefully) relatively easy to use. It is currently still undergoing testing, but its results have been demonstrated to be robust thus far. If you decide to use it, feel free to leave feedback on the web site or email me directly. Thanks, ~DEEN -- Deen Freelon Ph.D. Student, Communication University of Washington dfreelon@u.washington.edu
