After your articles have been coded, you can '''download the codings''' so you can analyze them outside of AmCAT, for example in Excel, SPSS or R. To do so, first go to the '''codingjobs overview''' ('Coding Jobs' in the dropdown menu under the 'Codings' tab). | After your articles have been coded, you can '''download the codings''' so you can analyze them outside of AmCAT, for example in Excel, SPSS or R.

Each ‘# parent’ creates an additional variable for a higher level in the hierarchy. For example, the variable '''Topic''', the last variable in the screenshot to the left, has a [[create codebooks|hierarchical codebook]], shown to the right. Two possible topics you can code are Terrorism in Europe and Terrorism in the Middle East, which, in this codebook, are both considered types of terrorism. That is, they are 'children' of the 'parent' terrorism. If you choose to export '''0 parents''', you '''export the codes exactly as they are coded''': Terrorism, Terrorism in Europe, and Terrorism in the Middle East. If you instead choose to '''export 1 parent''', AmCAT '''adds an additional variable''' to the dataset which '''aggregates''' both Terrorism in Europe and Terrorism in the Middle East '''to the level of their parent''', meaning that the value for both of these codes is 'Terrorism'. This saves the trouble of recoding variables into aggregate categories! |
