Research
Our research is guided by the guidelines of the German Research Foundation (DFG) to ensure good scientific practise This includes in particular:
- Commitment to good scientific practise by all group members
- Ensuring an continuous open dialogue about research results
- Research design: Interpreting kungfu in 'data-driven' processes, defining hypothesis and testing them against all existing data
- Methods and standards: We develop and maintain quantitative metrics to score and document the (un)certainty of all interpretations
- Documentation: We document our decision processes and underlying facts and provide these along with our results
- Cross-phase quality assurance by testing interpretations against data, theory and praxis especially together with martial art practitioners from combat sports in sparring and tournaments.
- Open access: We provide open access to all research data following the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable)
