Digital Technologies and Sampling. Comparing Estimates From Different Recruitment - Approaches Within the GESIS Panel.dbd.

Using a dataset of the GESIS Panel.dbd from 2023, this article examines AI use and attitudes in Germany. Almost half of the respondents had tried ChatGPT while one in five had not heard of it.

Special Issue Explores the Quality of Digital Behavioral Data, by Weiß, B., Leitgöb, H., & Wagner, C

Most DBD are not generated for research purposes but are a side product of our daily activities. A new special issue addresses key questions:

Official launch of the #KODAQS #Toolbox in July 2025

The KODAQS Toolbox is a new, open platform for assessing and improving data quality in the social sciences. It supports researchers in systematically reflecting on the quality of their data - along three central data types: Survey data, digital behavioral data (e.g. app or sensor data) and linked data sources (e.g. register and geospatial data).
