Information quality is a particular focus of Dr. Schneider’s research, using methods from argumentation theory, data science, and semantic web technologies. Her Alfred P.

Her work has also been funded by the NIH, the U.S. Office of Research Integrity, The Institute of Museum and Library Services, the European Commission, Science Foundation Ireland, the Harvard Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and an NSF CAREER award.
