The Methods Lab is excited to announce that the “Data, Archive & Tool Demos” special session will return at the 2026 DGPuK Annual Conference in Dortmund. The event will be co-organized by Methods Lab lead Christian Strippel with Johannes Breuer, Silke Fürst, Erik Koenen, Dimitri Prandner, and Christian Schwarzenegger, in collaboration with the GESIS Methods Hub, a community-oriented network for computational tools and resources.
This year’s session is a continuation of the format introduced at the 2024 DGPuK Conference in Erfurt, in a well-received event. The aim moving forward is to keep the discussion going, and potentially establish this format as a regular feature of the annual conference. Full details of the call for 2026 contributions are available here.
Researchers are invited to submit 200–300 word abstracts (German or English) by January 19, 2026. Eligible contributions must have not already been presented in the previous DGPuK sessions, are required to be available for scholarly reuse and must not be managed commercially. Contributions may also be resubmitted only if they have changed significantly, and this must be stated explicitly.
