Open-source science is reshaping how we collaborate and innovate—making research faster, more flexible, and better equipped to tackle complex societal challenges.

In this video, I discuss:
🔹 The "production" side of open science
🔹 How open-source models are shaping social science research
🔹 The goals and progress of the CPF harmonization initiative
🔹 Key advantages—and challenges—of collaborative, transparent data work

But for more information, you can also check this open article that discusses these things in detail: lnkd.in/emyZN_HV

🎥 I had the pleasure of speaking with Sage Research Methods about open science, open-source knowledge production and the @cpfdata.bsky.social Comparative Panel File Open Harmonization Project.

💡 Have a look at the full paper for a deeper dive into the topic. Any comments are welcome!

One example is the CPF Open Harmonization (www.cpfdata.com). These kinds of initiatives don’t replace traditional research infrastructures, but they can be powerful complementary solutions. In computational social science, especially where heavy coding is involved, they have great potential.

In this article, I explore what it means to “open” knowledge production in social science – especially through open-source and crowd-based collaboration 🤝 . This is where researchers work together in dynamic, open networks, even if they’re not formally connected.

Natural sciences are leading the way in these developments. But in social science? The shift to open is happening much more slowly.

🚀Open source tools, code sharing, collaborative workflows, crowd-based cooperations – these can be powerful ways to work faster, smarter, cheaper, and across disciplines. They help us tackle big questions and innovate in ways that traditional structures sometimes can’t.

Open science is changing how we produce, verify, and share knowledge. And it’s not just about open-access publications, preregistration, or replication studies. It’s also about rethinking how we collaborate and build scientific infrastructure.

Accelerating social science knowledge production with the coordinated open-source model - Quality & Quantity With the growing complexity of knowledge production, social science must accelerate and open up to maintain explanatory power and responsiveness. This goal requires redesigning the front end of the re...

The workings of randomness: On the role of chance in inequality While people increasingly believe they are responsible for their own success, success and failure are largely determined by randomness—processes beyond our control. An insightful observation, argues P...

Despite believing in self-determined success, success and failure are largely influenced by uncontrollable randomness.
