KODAQS

The Competence Center for Data Quality in the Social Sciences (KODAQS) aims to support and communicate the quality-assured use of social science data as a place of learning, research and networking. In addition to the traditional survey or self-report data that is still predominantly used, digital behavioral data and links between these and other data (e.g. geodata) are also included. KODAQs are intended to sensitize researchers to data quality and train them in its determination. Offers will be created that allow the use, processing, analysis and linking of social science data in a transparent and replicable manner. The project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) and NextGenerationEU, will run until November 2026 and is headed by Prof. Dr. Beatrice Rammstedt (GESIS), Prof. Dr. Florian Keusch (University of Mannheim) and Prof. Dr. Frauke Kreuter (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich).
