The Center for Science of Information (CSoI) brings together researchers from diverse fields and organizations to develop models and methods for diverse applications. Together, CSoI and its strategic partners engage in research, education, and diversity efforts that enhance CSoI’s outreach and promote its contributions to the broader public and scientific community.
