Standardisierte Inhaltsanalyse in der Kommunikationswissenschaft – Standardized Content Analysis in Communication Research

Abstract

The initial idea for this project was to create a database containing a systematic overview of important categories of content analysis, and the book does provide the theoretical and methodological foundation for these variables. To accompany this book, we publish the Database of Variables for Content Analysis (DOCA), which contains analytical variables discussed here. Almost all authors in this volume have contributed one or more database entries on several for the variables listed in the respective chapters of this volume. The database is constantly being expanded and new authors are added. It is open access and thus offers an ideal introduction to the practical application of automated and manual content analysis in various fields of communication science.
