Thank you for the source and your comment, Robin.
The research I found is mostly from the 90's. A source frequently mentioned in more recent publications is 'Kirwan, B., A guide to practical human reliability assessment. Taylor & Francis, 1994.' You can partially access it on google books.
Best regards,
Christian

Subject: Probability for error of a human reviewer
Survey research is another field which may be relevant here. There is a discussion of coding errors in data processing in chapter 16 of Moser & Kalton's 'Survey Methods in Social Investigation'. I expect that there are more recent texts covering this, but this is what I had to hand (and remembered from student days). No doubt changes in data capture methods will have had their effect on practice, but the earlier research may still be of interest.
Kind regards,
