Hi Stuart,
FYI, I can review the article that you recently sent me for JITP.
And, per PCAT, I've registered as a user. Is this strictly for public comments, or is it also designed for qualitative analysis in general? (I'm currently using NVivo).
Cheers,
Amy

Subject: More BETA Testers Sought for PCAT
We are seeking hundreds of new BETA testers to load test the Public Comment Analysis Toolkit:
http://pcat.qdap.net <http://pcat.qdap.net/> <http://pcat.qdap.net/>
200+ users have joined the system since October 30th. Why would you try PCAT?

It also works well for categorizing blog posts and other text datasets. Five sample PCAT-ready blog post datasets are available at:
http://www.umass.edu/qdap/data.html
I think you will find the search, peer, credential, memo and coding nexus in this software enables unique research opportunities. PCAT also carries internal measurement tools for inter-rater reliability and adjudication of coding decisions or pre-tests. It is a uniquely useful research tool if you have large digital text datasets. Best of all, PCAT is a free, Web-based platform that enables collaboration across space and time.
