GESIS - for a research-based infrastructure

GESIS is a research-based infrastructure institution for the social sciences and conducts its own continuous and interdisciplinary research in four major research areas. The results of our research serve both to gain scientific knowledge and to sustainably improve our offerings for the social sciences.

For GESIS, the quality of data takes center stage. GESIS strives to provide high-quality research data as well as methods and tools that enable users to assess for themselves how high the quality of research data is. The research focus is therefore also geared towards this core interest. In order to contribute to the generation of knowledge about data quality, GESIS focuses on the research areas of survey methodology, computer-based methods and research data management. Together, we focus our methodologically oriented research on supporting researchers who work with quantitative data.
