Document Summary

A codebook is a document describing the coding procedure and the location of data for variables in a format that computers can use. It is essential to make it organized and detailed plus have multiple copies of it. Precoding means placing the code categories on the questionnaire. Statistical analysis programs need the data in a grid or spreadsheet format. It is possible to go from a column and row location back to the original source of data. Data may be worthless without a codebook. Code sheet: gather info and transfer it from the original source onto a grid format code sheet. Next type what is on the code sheet onto a computer, line by line.
