Funding: Austrian Science Fund (FWF)-stand alone project (P 35575 ), duration: 2022-2026 (starting 09/2022) 
Focus: The entanglement of publication processes with research design and data analysis
Research Team: Cornelia Schadler (PI), Teresa Kucera (Resarcher), Nathali Köbli (Researcher), Mira Achter (Research Assistant)
- Theoretical Perspective: New Materialisms/Agential Realism (Barad, Haraway, Braidotti) from which we conclude that changes in the research apparatus (e.g. publication pathway) also intra-act with the other components of the research apparatus (subject-method-object/results)
- Empirical project: Interviews with authors, editors, reviewers, and a comparative analysis of different publications from research projects
- Objectives regarding philosophy of (social) science: Including publication processes into models of research => theoretical models of research are mostly threefold (subject-method-object). The aim is to include dissemination into this model
- Objectives regarding empirical research: defining the practices of publication in social science and how different knowledge is produced by different publication practices
