Some tags used for coding articles imply other, more general tags. For example, "Gun Violence (GUNV)" implies "Violence (VIOL)". However, how volunteers code articles may not be consistent. For an article involving gun violence, the coder may have tagged the article as just GUNV or as both GUNV and VIOL. There are a couple ways to address this:

  • When analyzing the data, infer these more general categories automatically
  • Better educate volunteers to not worry about tagging something as VIOL if they've already tagged it as GUNV

We should also check if there are any other issues similar to this.
