R1, annotator AL; R2, annotator PL; R12, final annotation after discussion and agreement between AL and PL. In this test, a score of 1 indicates a perfect match, a score between 0.81 and 1 corresponds to an almost perfect agreement, a score between 0.61 and 0.80 indicates a substantial agreement, a score between 0.41 and 0.60 corresponds to a moderate agreement, a score between 0.21 and 0.40 indicates none to slight agreement, and a score below 0.21 indicates a result consistent with a random annotation (McHugh, 2012).
