Intercoder Reliability

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.
