معرفی
Florian Schuberth is an Associate Professor at the Chair of Product–Market Relations within the Faculty of Engineering Technology at the University of Twente. His research focuses on composite-based structural equation modeling (SEM), particularly Partial Least Squares (PLS) methods, with applications across Information Systems, Social Sciences, and Computer Science. He actively contributes to quantitative research methodology and open science.
- Bachelor's and Master's in Business Administration and Economics, University of Würzburg
- PhD in Econometrics, summa cum laude, University of Würzburg (2017)
His research interests center on advancing composite-based SEM, including model specification, fit assessment, higher-order constructs, and robust estimation techniques. He emphasizes methodological rigor and reproducibility in social science research.
His recent work, reflected in publications and software development, demonstrates a strong trend toward improving the transparency, validity, and accessibility of composite modeling techniques, particularly through R-based tools. He has made significant contributions to model evaluation, measurement invariance, and endogeneity correction in PLS-SEM.
Florian Schuberth is a passionate educator, coordinating and teaching courses on quantitative research methods. He is also deeply committed to open science, serving as coordinator of the Open Science Community Twente.
Notable contributions include the development and maintenance of the cSEM R package, which enables researchers to perform composite-based SEM in R, promoting open, reproducible research practices.
- Maintainer of the R package cSEM
- Coordinator, Open Science Community Twente (since 2022)
- Active contributor to methodological software and open science infrastructure
