Research Compendium

This research compendium curates and translates University of Pennsylvania research on the quantitative study of the information ecosystem and its impact on democracy. It brings together empirical work examining issues such as information integrity, media ecosystems, political speech, and democratic resilience, with the aim of making rigorous academic research more accessible and actionable.

The compendium features research from seven schools and centers at Penn—the Annenberg School for Communication, the Annenberg Public Policy Center, the Wharton School, SAS Political Science, SEAS Computer and Information Science, the School of Social Policy and Practice, and the Carey Law School—and is designed to serve journalists, media leaders, civil society organizations, and policymakers seeking evidence-based insights into the functioning and governance of digital information systems.
