Summary

1998. One coder was designated as the control coder and worked off-site for the duration of the project. At the completion of the general coding process, the three on-site coders, working alone and without access to the control coder's work, recoded one-sixth of the broadcasts completed by the control coder. Daily scores were found to be reliable within ±0.79 points per day, as per the comparative daily broadcast scores.

1999. For this project, the principal coding team comprised six people, who were trained as a group. One coder was designated as the control coder and worked off-site for the duration of the project. At the completion of the general coding process, the on-site coders, working alone and without access to the control coder's work, recoded 40% of the broadcasts completed by the control coder. Daily scores were found to be reliable within ±0.59 points per day, as per the comparative daily broadcast scores of general coders versus the control coder.

2000. For this project, the principal coding team comprised four individuals, who were trained as a group. One coder was designated as the control coder and worked off-site for the duration of the project. At the completion of the general coding process, the on-site coders, working alone and without access to the control coder's work, recoded 40% of the broadcasts completed by the control coder.
