Data Entry and Coding

SESRC typically follows a three step process: coding of questionnaires; initial data entry input, and re-entry verification with empahsis on controlling for entry error and data cleaning. In addition there is a final validation step that occurs after all questionnaires have been entered and verified.

The steps of the process include:

  • Training personnel
  • Utilizing a project specific code manual
  • Review and coding
  • Inital entry
  • Quality assutance verification

The SESRC performs verification on every questionnaire received, and on every question within the questionnaire (100% verification).
