Terrorism Research

Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wolfgang G. Stock

Terrorism research in information science focuses on the content of documents by and about terroristic organizations. Our research includes microblogs on such organizations (as, for instance, ISIS) and reactions on terrorist attacks (such as Charlie Hebdo). We pay particular attention to indexing, informetrical data evaluation, and content analysis of publications of terrorist organizations (such as the Islamic States‘ magazines Dabiq and Rumiyah).
