สรุป	Scott's pi is a chance-corrected coefficient of intercoder agreement for two coders working on a nominal scale, introduced by William Scott in 1955 specifically for content analysis. It improves on raw percent agreement by subtracting the agreement two coders would reach by chance, where chance is estimated from a single pooled distribution of categories shared by both coders rather than from each coder's separate marginals.	Manifest content analysis is a quantitative research technique that systematically counts the explicit, surface-level features of communication messages — words, sources, themes, images, or actors that are directly visible in the text or media artifact — according to a predefined coding scheme. Rooted in Bernard Berelson's classic definition of content analysis as the 'objective, systematic, and quantitative description of the manifest content of communication,' it is one of the foundational empirical methods of mass communication and media research.
