Coding Analysis Toolkit looking for beta testers
A recent message to the Polmeth mailing list announced that a research group at the University of Pittsburgh is looking for beta testers for some new coding reliability software that they have developed:
The Coding Analysis Toolkit (or “CAT”) was developed in the summer of 2007. The system consists of a web-based suite of tools custom built from the ground-up to facilitate efficient and effective analysis of text datasets that have been coded using the commercial-off-the-shelf package ATLAS.ti (http://www.atlasti.com). We have recently posted a narrated slide show about CAT and a tutorial online. The Coding Analysis Toolkit was designed to use keystrokes and automation to clarify and speed-up the validation or consensus adjudication process. Special attention was paid during the design process to the need to eliminate the role of the computer mouse, thereby streamlining the physical and mental tasks in the coding analysis process. We anticipate that CAT will open new avenues for researchers interested in measuring and accurately reporting coder validity and reliability, as well as for those practicing consensus-based adjudication. The availability of CAT can improve the practice of qualitative data analysis at the University of Pittsburgh and beyond.
More information is avaliable at this website: http://www.qdap.pitt.edu/cat.htm. This is far from my area of expertise, but it looks like it might be useful for some projects...
