GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences

With basic research-based services and consulting covering all levels of the scientific process, GESIS supports researchers in the social sciences.

Since 2012 the GESIS Summer School Archived 2017-03-06 at the Wayback Machine in Survey Methodology is offered for PhD students and young researchers.

GESIS is divided into six scientific departments; their research-based services and products cover the entire spectrum of empirical social research.

WikiWho,[1] developed by Fabian Flöck and Maribel Acosta and hosted by GESIS,[2] "parses the complete set of all historical revisions (versions) (of Wikipedia articles in different languages) in order to find out who wrote and/or removed and/or reinserted which exact text at token level at what revision".

[9][12][13] In 2021, Fabian Flöck planned to leave GESIS and shut down WikiWho sometime in 2022, however, a Wikimedia Foundation software engineer is working to migrate the infrastructure.
