Algorithmic Transparency Institute

Algorithmic Transparency Institute (ATI) is a project of the National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC). NCoC is a non-partisan non-profit dedicated to strengthening civic life in America. ATI is focused on bringing greater transparency to the digital platforms that impact civic discourse. ATI does this by developing tools, collecting data, and supporting analysis that furthers a shared understanding of the role of digital media in civic life.

The Center for Tech and Civic Life

The Center for Tech and Civic Life connects Americans with the information they need to become and remain civically engaged, and ensure that our elections are more professional, inclusive, and secure. CTCL is a team of civic technologists, trainers, researchers, election administration and data experts working to foster a more informed and engaged democracy, and helping to modernize U.S. elections.

The Media and Democracy Data Cooperative 

The Media and Democracy Data Cooperative (MDDC) is a multi-disciplinary network of research centers and researchers working together to advance the use of digital data in political media and communication scholarship.

MDDC’s mission rests on two pillars: (1) to advance digital data collection efforts and (2) to provide opportunities for members to work together on research projects and endeavors.

SOMAR & The University of Michigan 

The Social Media Archive (SOMAR) is a revolutionary initiative and data resource that makes social media data accessible and useful to researchers like never before. SOMAR is housed in the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research (ISR). SOMAR’s mission is to provide a centralized and reliable repository for social media research data. We believe that open access to research data is crucial for advancing our understanding of the role of social media in society.
