WORKING GROUP 3
Creation Analytical tools: computational and visualization tools for the application to new research questions
Working group 3 will coordinate activities related to sharing, evaluating, and improving analytical tools for analyzing historical cause of death data. It will focus on (1) tool and methods adaptation by ensuring exchange between the fields of demography, epidemiology, and history and (2) by establishing best practices across Europe that could be expanded worldwide. Moreover, the latter will include best practices to move from the current research practice to open science.
