About us

We are the CSS department at GESIS and our mission is to support scientists who aim to work with digital behavioral data to learn about social and socio-technical phenomena. We support scientists in the different phases of their research ranging from the planning and design of a study to the data collection, the data analysis and the documentation. We follow open science principles and help other CSS researchers to comply with these principles.

This account contains open source material created by our members. The Team "Transparent Social Analytics" also has a GitHub account where they share open source material. More open resources can also be found in the GitHub repositories of some of our members:
Arnim Bleier, Chung-hong Chan, Julian Kohne, David Schoch

We also maintain an awesome list for computational social science
