[Commlist] Call for Entries for the Database for Variables of Content Analysis (DOCA)

*Call for Entries for the **Database for Variables of Content Analysis 
(DOCA)*
*
*
*Link: **https://t.uzh.ch/1tu <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 <http://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.
