Abstract:
This paper presents a protocol for using ChatGPT to perform content analysis. The protocol involves converting a codebook, outlining categories, descriptions, coding rules, and possible values, into a structured prompt that guides ChatGPT's analysis. The protocol was validated through analysis of 980 research articles to identify research approaches and data collection methods. ChatGPT achieved high performance in identifying data collection methods, but faced challenges with poorly defined or underrepresented categories, particularly in mixed methods research. Overall, while it scored well for quantitative (0.96) and qualitative (0.82) studies, it struggled with mixed methods (0.60), highlighting the need for clear methodological definitions.•The protocol enhances coding efficiency and demonstrates the feasibility of using AI for content analysis, potentially streamlining the coding process in research.•Challenges arose in categories that were not clearly defined (big data), underrepresented (ethnography), or hierarchically related (Interview & Discourse/Textual analysis).•Interrater metrics indicated a substantial level of agreement, reinforcing the potential of ChatGPT in content analysis while emphasizing the importance of clear methodological definitions.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
