Since OEs are unstructured free-form responses, one way to organize and make sense of the responses is to “code” them. This involves reading a response and assigning a code (or multiple codes) that represent the sentiment or topic that the response mentions. These codes form a code frame that organizes mentions into groups of sentiments or topics that go together. (Coding OEs allows unstructured responses to be included in data tables as organized responses.)
