Interested in working with social science data management? DEMSCORE is hiring!

While DEMSCORE v4 with 145 datasets and 25.000 variables is bigger than ever, we know that there are plenty of other datasets out there that we do not (yet) include. In this post, we will walk you through a little DEMSCORE-hack, illustrating how DEMSCORE can be of help even when using external datasets.

In this workshop, Demscore Data Manager Melina Liethmann and V-Dem Data Manager Linnea Fox present Demscore and V-Dem, focusing on how the projects advance methodological developments in social science research, and democracy research in particular. This seminar will be relevant to all researchers who conduct cross-national quantitative research, including MA and PhD students and advanced BA students.

Apply now to join our team in Spring 2025! Deadline November 22.

REPDEM provides access to world-leading databases for research on the struggle for the power of government, primarily in European parliamentary democracies.

The Historical Data Archive (H-DATA) is a hub of historical country-level data going as far back as the French revolution or even further and offers unparalleled depth of data and temporality, enabling researchers to answer critical questions about the past but to also understand the origins of, and find historical parallels to, present-day problems.

On September 12-14, Demscore will be at the Italian Political Science Association (SISP) Conference in Trieste, introducing Demscore modules and methods, as well as the download interface functionalities.
