And last but not least, thank you to all the modules, who make Demscore the research resource that it is.
We hope to see you all again soon!

Demscore enables not only horizontal but also vertical data extension. For example, merging H-DATA Historical Cabinet data (1919-1945) and REPDEM PAGED data (1944-2022) on a compatible 'Output Unit' like V-Dem Country-Date creates a dataset covering cabinet formations going back 100+ years in time!
Want to dig a bit deeper into the best practices of data harmonization? The full R code for Demscore v.2.0 is now available on GitHub!
