Resonance Analysis: Inter-Coder Agreement for Feb2010 Water Management Minutes

A quantitative comparison of two analysts' coding of 'resonances'—factors describing preferences and motivations—from a February 2010 water management meeting document. The dataset contains files for comparing agreement across 10 resonance categories and 81 individual resonances, generated using ReCal2 software. It was created by Pierre Glynn and supports a 2026 journal article on environmental management.

Use Cases

• Assessing inter-coder reliability for qualitative resonance analysis based on the 10 resonance categories.
• Comparing detailed coding agreement across the 81 individual resonances mentioned in the description.
• Visualizing differences between a full and a priority-coded analysis using the provided PNG files.
• Replicating or validating agreement statistics using the provided ReCal2 input and output files.

Strengths

• Provides a direct quantitative comparison for two distinct coding analyses (Analyst A2 vs. Analyst A1-priority).
• Includes raw input files for ReCal2 software and processed output in multiple formats (XLSX, CSV, PDF, PNG).
• Compares agreement at two levels of detail: 10 broad categories and 81 individual resonances.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (673.2 KB) and focused on a single document (Feb2010 LWAG minutes), limiting generalizability.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download.
