We invite Ph.D. students and early career postdocs to come to GESIS. Visiting researchers of the Junior Research Program are involved in our research to publish with GESIS staff, and to develop research ideas and joint projects.

This new version includes methods and tutorials from GESIS Methods Hub as well as links between equivalent variables across survey waves. This work has been partially funded through the German Research Foundation (DFG) project NFDI4DataScience.

The GESIS KG contains links between different scientific resources, e.g., links between research data, publications, and instruments, and links to entities like authors and social science concepts. It is integrated into the GESIS Search and makes such links between scientific resources findable.

By using established standards, GESIS KG ensures interoperability and reusability of GESIS metadata and links on the Web. Understanding relations and dependencies between scientific resources is crucial to capture provenance, ensure reproducibility of research and facilitate informed search.

#KnowledgeGraph #metadata
New #dataset: GESIS Knowledge Graph Version 2.0.0 released

The GESIS Knowledge Graph (GESIS KG) represents metadata of scientific resources available in the GESIS Search and its semantic relationships in an integrated and consistent form.

Die Erhebung 2025 widmet sich schwerpunktmäßig der gesellschaftlichen Polarisierung sowie den Einstellungen zu kontrovers diskutierten Forschungsgebieten wie Klimawandel, Migration, gendergerechter Sprache und sozialer Ungleichheit.

Die neueste Welle des Wissenschaftsbarometers mit Daten aus 2025 ist jetzt veröffentlicht. Neben der Bewertung von Nutzen und Risiken stehen dieses Mal aktuelle gesellschaftliche Spannungsfelder im Mittelpunkt:

#DatensatzdesMonats #datasetofmonth #Wissenschaftsbarometer2025 #ScienceBarometer2025

Das Wissenschaftsbarometer untersucht fortlaufend das Interesse, das Informationsverhalten und das Vertrauen der Öffentlichkeit in Wissenschaft und Forschung.
