The phrase "appropriateness of the coding" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing whether a particular coding method or style is suitable for a given context or purpose.
Example: "The appropriateness of the coding used in this project will be evaluated during the review process."
Alternatives: "suitability of the coding" or "relevance of the coding".
20 The project team discussed the appropriateness of the coding scheme in a review meeting.
Next, the second author independently examined a subset of transcripts and verified the appropriateness of the coding scheme.
The PI made every effort to clarify participants' responses and to verify the contextual appropriateness of the coding and emerging themes during data analysis.
The analysis was carried out by two different persons within the research team (one conducted the initial analysis, while another checked the appropriateness of the coding and categorizing).
Responses were again studied to check the appropriateness of the codes applied to the data [ 13].
The appropriateness of the code assignments was assessed by reviewing the previously coded data and ascertaining consistent assignment of codes to concepts.
Members of the research team independently coded a number of pages of the same text to test for both the utility and appropriateness of the codes and the intercoder reliability, which measures correspondence between two or more coders' assessments (84%)[ 14].
We present example results including the onset of a Rayleigh–Taylor instability, the indentation of a rigid-plastic material and the formation of a fold beneath a free eroding surface, that demonstrate the accuracy, efficiency and appropriateness of the new code to solve complex geodynamical problems in three dimensions.
The second, third, and last authors independently confirmed the appropriateness of coding, themes, and analyses at each stage, and provided alternative ideas about the first author's work.
This was then discussed among all the authors who independently commented and confirmed the appropriateness of coding, and provided additional and alternative ideas.
38 Interview data were initially coded by HA and appropriateness of coding and resultant themes were confirmed an on-going basis by two other researchers.
