Publications and Research Outputs
The Disinformation Space initiative connects the citable record of the Dresden workshop with a developing research and community ecosystem. The open-access workshop report is the central scholarly reference for its eight cross-cutting findings, thirteen research challenges and refined socio-technical model.
