Longitudinal Data Infrastructures in Europe

Tools for Open Science in Social Science Research

Herausgegeben: Taddei, Luciana; Paolucci, Mario

Beschreibung

This open access book explores panels, infrastructures, open science, and the opportunities they offer. More than that, it shares our experiences in creating them. This is not a technical manual, but an accessible guide about social sciences infrastructures, how they work, and why they are essential for collaboration and the sharing of knowledge. Through stories, examples, and insights, we show that infrastructures are not only technological tools but living ecosystems that nurture ideas, connect people, and add to everyone s work. The book speaks to students, teachers, researchers, and decision-makers, but also to citizens, communities, and those curious about the future of knowledge in social sciences. Open science here is not just theory, but a hands-on practice that widens horizons and makes discovery a shared adventure.
