Reliability in content analysis: some common misconceptions and recommendations.
Open accessAbstract
In a recent article published in this journal, Lombard, Snyder-Duch, and Bracken (2002) surveyed 200 content analyses for their reporting of reliability tests; compared the virtues and drawbacks of five popular reliability measures; and proposed guidelines and standards for their use. Their discussion revealed that numerous misconceptions circulate in the content analysis literature regarding how these measures behave and can aid or deceive content analysts in their effort to ensure the reliability of their data. This paper proposes three conditions for statistical measures to serve as indices of the reliability of data and examines the mathematical structure and the behavior of the five coefficients discussed by the authors, plus two others. It compares common beliefs about these coefficients with what they actually do and concludes with alternative recommendations for testing reliability in content analysis and similar data-making efforts.

Krippendorff's α considers chance independently from coders like Scott's π, but data reliability is estimated depending on disagreement instead of agreement.
“Krippendorff's α α α α (Krippendorff, 2004) considers chance independently from coders like Scott's π, but data reliability is estimated depending on disagreement instead of agreement:”
From Weighted Krippendorff's alpha is a more reliable metrics for multi-coders ordinal annotations: experimental studies on emotion, opinion and coreference annotation (2014) · cites this paper as Krippendorff, 2004
Intercoder reliability for the 6 moderator variables ranged from 0.81 to 0.99, above the acceptable level.
“For the 6 moderator variables, Krippendorff’s alpha ranged from 0.81 to 0.99, and therefore above the acceptable level (Krippendorff, 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
