We offer you unique opportunities for collecting your own high-quality survey data free of charge with either the representative GESIS Panel.pop or the GESIS Panel.dbd linked to web tracking. Our entire data is also accessible for secondary data analyses.

Last month, the GESIS Panel Team joined the 18th Workshop of Panel Surveys in German-speaking countries. We presented a poster on research ethics in the GESIS Panel.pop and an R-Shiny documentation interface for the GESIS Panel.dbd. Thanks to FReDA and BiB for the great organization!

On Day 1 we kicked off the workshop with a deep dive into the GESIS Panel.dbd infrastructure. Together we explored how the panel is recruited and structured, how web tracking data are collected, and how digital traces like URLs, timestamps, and HTML are generated and stored.

Last week, the GESIS Panel.dbd Insight Days brought together 18 researchers to explore how web tracking and survey data can be combined for social science research. Over the next two posts, we’ll share key insights from both workshop days. Stay tuned!
