AUTNES Content Analysis of Party Press Releases: Cumulative File (SUF edition)

Full edition for scientific use. The AUTNES coding of party press releases covers all press releases that were issued by parties gaining at least two percent of the votes in the national elections 2002, 2006, 2008, 2013 and 2017. The coding procedure applies the AUTNES relational approach of recording subjects, predicates, and objects to press releases. The subject is the person or party that features as the sender of the message in the title of the press release. There are two types of objects: issues and object actors. Issues are recorded by coders selecting from the AUTNES issue coding scheme the one issue that fits the content of the press release’s title best. The issue predicate numerically records whether the subject’s position towards the issue is one of support, rejection, or conveys a neutral/ambivalent stance. This procedure (coding of predicate and issue) is repeated for the subtitle of the press release. Up to three object actors are recorded from the information in the title of the press release, each with their name (if an individual is present) and organisational affiliation, as well as the evaluation by the subject actor (positive, negative or neutral). In addition to the basic subject–predicate–object structure we code four more variables for specific years: character traits for all object actors, party records for all subject and object actors, justifications for issue statements, and the incident that triggered the press release. Variables: party authoring the press release; sender (the three-letter APA channel through which the press release was sent); keywords of the press release; title; subtitle; text; name of first and second subject actor; organisational affiliation of these subject actors; reference to subject actor’s record; issue of title and subtitle; issue predicate of title and subtitle (position towards the coded issue of title and subtitle); reference of title and subtitle to policy at the EU level; justification of issue; up to three object actors: name and organisational affiliation; object actor predicates (the relation between the subject and each object actor as support, criticism/rejection, or neutral); reference to object actor’s record; reference to object actor’s attributes; trigger variables: arena in which the press release was triggered; name and organisational affiliation of the individual who triggered the press release; bipartisan press release (press release was issued in by politicians from two different parties). Additionally coded was: ID of individual press releases; coder-ID.

本版本为科研专用完整版。政党新闻稿的AUTNES编码（AUTNES coding）涵盖了所有在2002、2006、2008、2013及2017年全国大选中得票率不低于2%的政党所发布的新闻稿。本编码流程采用AUTNES关系分析法，对新闻稿中的主体、谓词与客体进行标注。主体指新闻稿标题中作为消息发送方的个人或政党。客体分为两类：议题（issues）与客体行动者（object actors）。编码人员需从AUTNES议题编码框架中选取最贴合新闻稿标题内容的单一议题，以此完成议题标注。议题谓词以数值形式记录主体对该议题的立场：支持、反对，或中立/模棱两可。上述（谓词与议题）编码流程同样适用于新闻稿的副标题。从新闻稿标题的信息中可标注最多三名客体行动者，每名行动者需记录其姓名（若为个人）、所属机构，以及主体行动者对其的评价（正面、负面或中立）。除基础的主体-谓词-客体结构外，本数据集还针对特定年份增设四类变量：所有客体行动者的性格特质、所有主体与客体行动者的政党归属记录、议题表述的论证依据，以及触发该新闻稿的事件。标注变量包括：新闻稿的撰写政党；发送渠道（新闻稿发布所使用的三字母APA渠道）；新闻稿关键词；标题、副标题、正文；第一、第二主体行动者姓名，上述主体行动者的所属机构，以及主体行动者的记录引用；标题与副标题对应议题，标题及副标题的议题谓词（即主体对所标注议题的立场）；标题与副标题提及欧盟层面政策的相关引用；议题表述的论证依据；最多三名客体行动者：姓名及所属机构，客体行动者谓词（主体与各客体行动者之间的关系，包括支持、批评/反对或中立），客体行动者的记录引用，客体行动者的属性引用；触发变量：新闻稿的触发领域，触发该新闻稿的个人姓名及所属机构，跨党派新闻稿（由来自两个不同政党的政客联合发布的新闻稿）。额外标注项包括：单条新闻稿的唯一标识ID，编码人员ID。
