Consulting on Computational Social Science Methods and Digital Behavioral Data

Digital behavioral data is a new focus area of GESIS. Our aim is to support researchers in using this new and genuinely digital data for their work - with individual consulting services, tailored to their needs. In addition, we offer a variety of resources for teaching and self-learning. 

Individual consulting on research with digital behavioral data using computational social science methods:

• Collecting digital behavioral data, both designed data (e.g., via smartphones, web tracking, data donations) and web data (e.g., social media data, data from other platforms via APIs or crawling)
• Analysis and visualizing methods (e.g., text mining, network and data science, machine learning methods)
• Evaluation and improvement of the quality of both digital behavioral data and analysis methods (e.g., on the basis of the TED-On and ValiTex frameworks)
