Fusion research has long been examined as a site where big science, Cold War politics, and international community-building intersect — from ITER back to its European precursors. Existing accounts of the cooperation between scientists, administrators, and policymakers in this field tend to stay …

This data paper describes a dataset of 18,361 issues from roughly 800 Polish-language periodicals mentioning petroleum, published between 1 January 1853 and 31 December 1918. Alongside periodicals from historically Polish territories, it includes diasporic Polish-language press from elsewhere in …

How can digital-humanities-driven “big data” history be made more useful for collaborative historical research? Drawing on a research program on the history of the Max Planck Society, this talk looks at the structure and dynamics of knowledge networks, the challenges of big data history …

When in the research lifecycle do small interventions yield the largest gains in code, workflow, and research quality? This hands-on workshop combines two initiatives working on that question from different angles — CODECHECK, which independently checks computational workflows as part of peer …

Extracting structured knowledge graphs from unstructured historical texts is precise but slow when done by hand, and hard to automate without losing the nuances of historical sources. This chapter presents a two-stage computational pipeline — open information extraction followed by LLM-based …

Bringing large language models into a shared research workflow raises different questions for historians, political scientists, and digital humanists working together. Drawing on the project “Analysis of narratives in the genetic engineering discourse,” this chapter reflects on extending …
