There is no standard for the sample size used in a reliability test. In traditional research, it is suggested to select 10-15% of total data as the sample for reliability test. However, in big data research, even a 10% sample may contain a significant volume of data. Therefore, it is […]
Can I skip the reliability test?
In the process of content analysis, whether through traditional content analysis methods or big data content analysis methods, the reliability test requires two or more coders to independently make judgments about the characteristics of the same piece of information or record and reach consistent conclusions. Reliability refers to the consistency […]
How to backup project data? Downloading/Exporting of various types of data
The project will no longer be accessible after expired. We recommend downloading a backup of all data before the expiration date to prevent data loss. DiVoMiner platform provides comprehensive data export and backup functions. Source data/uploaded data/coding data: Click [Export] at the top right of [Quality Monitoring] page, select the […]
Is it possible to conduct coding/coding test offline, and upload the data to DiVoMiner for statistical analysis/reliability calculation?
DiVoMiner, as an all-in-one online platform for textual data mining and analysis, integrates traditional methods and innovative processes to provide researchers with tools for quantitative content analysis. Users can complete the entire process of classifying, coding, semantic judgment and forming quantifiable data of text content online on this platform. The […]
What is the format of exported data and what are the exporting options?
All coded data is downloadable in CSV formats. Data can be exported based on the serial number or the text of the codebook options. According to the research needs, users can choose the content and data to be downloaded. CSV files can be opened using Excel. If needed, they can […]
Why is the number of coded data not equal to the total data quantity?
After completing the coding test, there may be an instance where the number of completed codings does not match the total number of samples. This typically occurs when a coder opens the coding page but does not submit the data. Therefore, in cases of such data discrepancies, it is recommended […]
Can results of reliability coding replace formal content coding?
Coding results of reliability test cannot replace formal coding. It is necessary to complete reliability test coding before proceeding with formal coding. Research methodology requires reliability test among coders before formal coding. Whether using traditional content analysis or big data content analysis, two or more coders are required to work […]
Why are the [Random Import data to Test Library] and [Sampling] function buttons grayed out?
The reason why the [Randomly Import Data to Test Library] and [Sampling] function buttons are grayed out in the Coding Library, is because there is no database has been selected. After selecting a database, the function will be restored to normal.
How to select field type? How to upload documents with date format?
Users can confirm and modify the field types during the data uploading process. There are four types of fields: Text: Text format as the content form Numerical value: Content presented in numerical format, allowing for statistical analysis such as calculating averages, totals, and other numerical computations. Boolean value: Content represented […]
How to perform machine-aided manual coding?
Once the inter-coder reliability test is completed, and the reliability values among coders reaches an acceptable level, formal coding can begin. Check out how to conduct inter-coder reliability test here Coding is a crucial part of content analysis. In traditional content analysis, manual coding can be very time-consuming. However, machine-aided […]
