The GESIS Spring Seminar on advanced methods of quantitative data analysis and the GESIS Methodenseminar on basic knowledge and skills in quantitative data analysis are taking place for over 40 and 30 years, respectively. The trainings are completed by GESIS Workshops on current research methods and survey programs.
GESIS conducts research on content and methodology focusing on survey methodology, social structure, attitudes and behaviors in modern societies, applied computer science and information science.

WikiWho,[1] developed by Fabian Flöck and Maribel Acosta and hosted by GESIS,[2] "parses the complete set of all historical revisions (versions) (of Wikipedia articles in different languages) in order to find out who wrote and/or removed and/or reinserted which exact text at token level at what revision".[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] WhoColor and whoVIS are in development.[11] Researchers developing and using WikiWho, also investigated the Gamergate (harassment campaign).[9][12][13] In 2021, Fabian Flöck planned to leave GESIS and shut down WikiWho sometime in 2022, however, a Wikimedia Foundation software engineer is working to migrate the infrastructure.[2][14] Wikimedia Foundation, Community Tech Team has released Who Wrote That?, a browser extension, for Mozilla Firefox[15] and Chromium-based browsers.[16] using WikiWho.[17][18][2] Contropedia is a related "platform for the real-time analysis and visualization of such controversies in Wikipedia".[19][20]
