The Database of Variables for Content Analysis DOCA has been available to researchers since spring 2022. Therefore, we now want to find out how DOCA has been used in research and teaching so far, what the benefits of the database are so far, and what improvements and thematic extensions would be desirable. We would be very grateful if you would fill in the short questionnaire (maximum duration 10 minutes):

Call for Entries for the Database for Variables of Content Analysis (DOCA)
Link: https://t.uzh.ch/1tu
Deadline: September 15, 2023
Database of Variables for Content Analysis (DOCA) invites submissions for variable entries. www.hope.uzh.ch/doca
The open access database compiles, systematizes, and evaluates relevant content-analytical variables of communication and political science research areas and topics.
DOCA simplifies access to common variables and their categories for content analysis research. It provides entries for single variables (e.g. actors, issues,...) and more complex theoretical constructs (often measured by more than one variable e.g., americanization).
The database serves as a foundation for answering questions about research designs and operationalizations resorting to content analysis and helps standardize and compare studies. It also promotes equal opportunity among researchers by providing free access to important resources.
Procedure regarding the call:
- Please send suggestions for variables to [email protected] by 15.09.2023. The entries for variables or constructs that are already in the database can be found under the following link www.hope.uzh.ch/doca
- You receive a response within two weeks regarding the inclusion of suggested constructs or variables, as well as instructions for preparing your entry.
- Please submit your entry (approx. two pages in length) by December 01, 2023. Every entry will be peer-reviewed by two reviewers.
- If accepted, we will take over the entry's typesetting, design, and publication. Each entry receives a DOI (Digital Object Identifier).
- No fee is charged from the authors during the submission, evaluation and publication process.
We are very much looking forward to your submissions.
