Digitalisation and Scientific Value Creation

Research Group 11

The research group examines the relationship between digitalisation and the social impact of academic research. Digitalisation is understood as a change in research and publication processes with the aim of increasing the usefulness of research.

In its work, the research group wishes to accompany the other groups at the Weizenbaum Institute in the design of their research and publication processes and conceptualize an IT-supported research environment tailored to the users. In this way, the Weizenbaum Institute will self-reflexively analyze its own research and publication practice and provide the research community (and also the public) with a research data infrastructure and other tools.
