Data Cleaning and Coding

No longer do you need to spend hours reading endless verbatims and manually assigning codes.

With Coder, Plenari’s tool for coding open-ended questions within CATI Agent, Web Agent and CAPI Agent, coding can now be largely automated saving you time and money!

What’s more, coding can be conducted by multiple people working simultaneously on the one data file. This means the usually time consuming task can be completed in significantly less time!

Coder is fully integrated within Plenari’s data collection and data analysis programs. Therefore once codes are completed, these will simply be incorporated into the main data file.

Through Coder, the data can also be edited as required. This lets you create a clean and optimal data set in minutes.

It is this seamless integration from questionnaire design to data collection through data transformation to data analysis and reporting, that is the essence of Plenari.

Features of Coder:

  • Fully integrated with the CATI Agent, Web Agent and CAPI agent interviewing systems
  • Is simple and intuitive to use and easily learnt in a matter of hours
  • Allows concurrent users to work on the same data set
  • Is internet-enabled, allowing users to work remotely
  • Can be coding while the questionnaire is still in field
  • Allows efficient re-use of ‘code frame libraries’
  • Improves operational efficiency through linking code frames of various open-ended fields within a data set and also across multiple data sets
  • Tracks changes to data
  • Automatically inserts the coded columns into the data set
  • Where required automatically codes ‘other, specify’ back into pre-coded lists
  • Significantly improves coding efficiency
  • Allows you to delete invalid cases and edit responses where necessary
