Manual annotation of documents in AmCAT is done in the Annotator.
To go there, click on 'Annotator' on the upper right of the screen.
Here, you can code documents such as newspaper articles on the article level, the sentence level, or both.
If you want to make your own codingjob from scratch, follow the steps below.
Think of which variables to use on which level (sentence or article), and of the answer categories that each variable should have. Also, make sure you prepare the set of articles or texts you want to code, using a sample if necessary.
• When you are done coding, download coding results to use them for further analysis in programs such as Excel or SPSS.
