Zusammenfassung	Intercoder reliability is the degree to which independent coders, applying the same coding scheme to the same content, arrive at the same coding decisions. In content analysis it is the central guarantee that findings reflect the messages rather than the idiosyncrasies of who happened to code them, and reporting a chance-corrected reliability coefficient is a near-universal requirement for publication in communication research.	Krippendorff's alpha is a chance-corrected coefficient that quantifies the reliability of coding decisions made by two or more observers, and is the standard reliability statistic in communication content analysis. Unlike percent agreement, it corrects for the agreement expected by chance; unlike Cohen's kappa, it generalizes seamlessly to any number of coders, any measurement level (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio), and data sets with missing values.
