Dear colleagues and members of the DGS Methoden Mailinglist,
We invite you to participate in the GLES Open Science Challenge 2021https://gles-en.eu/gles-open-science-challenge-2021/, coordinated by The German Longitudinal Election Study (GLEShttps://gles-en.eu/gles-open-science-challenge-2021/), in collaboration with the journal German Political Science Quarterly (PVShttps://www.springer.com/journal/11615) and the German Society for Electoral Studies (DGfWhttp://www.dgfw.info/en/). The Special issue will be published in English.
We invite open topic studies in the form of Registered Reportshttps://osf.io/rr/ that employ 2021 GLES survey data to examine relevant questions in times of political change and crises surrounding the German federal election: After 16 years of Angela Merkel as chancellor, these elections mark a watershed in German politics. The race for her successor is wide open. Simultaneously, it is unclear how long the Covid-19 pandemic and its corresponding restrictions will dominate the political agenda in Germany.
Deadline for abstract submission (500 words): July 12, 2021
* Study materials, questionnaires and guidelines are now available onlinehttps://gles.eu/gles-open-science-challenge-2021/downloads/.
This call will be of particular interest to scholars who value rigorous and transparent research and early career researchers interested in a fast publication pathway where success depends on the novelty, theoretical relevance, and rigorous execution of a research idea rather than the eventual empirical results.
More details can be found in the Call for Papershttps://gles.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/OSC_Call_for_Papers-1.pdf and on our websitehttps://gles-en.eu/gles-open-science-challenge-2021/.
If you have any questions or informal inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me or the Editorial Teammailto:gles-osc@gesis.org.
Best Regards on behalf of the Editorial Team,
Hannah Bucher
