Zusammenfassung
Empirische Abschlussarbeiten haben sich im Laufe der Zeit verändert. So haben sich Forschungsfragen gewandelt, aber auch die Möglichkeiten der Datennutzung und Datenanalyse werden in den letzten Jahren immer vielfältiger. Die Replikationskrise und die anhaltenden Fehlinterpretationen von statistischen Ergebnissen sind Herausforderungen, die auch Erstellerinnen und Ersteller von Abschlussarbeiten betreffen. Aktuell steht z. B. der p-Wert in der Kritik, die auch in Abschlussarbeiten Beachtung finden sollte. Neue Möglichkeiten hingegen ergeben sich beispielsweise unter den Schlagwörtern Big Data, Künstliche Intelligenz und Open Science. In diesem kurzen Kapitel wird ein kleiner Ausblick versucht, wie die Kritik und die Möglichkeiten im Zusammenhang mit Abschlussarbeiten aufgegriffen werden können. Insbesondere werden Hinweise auf vertiefende Literatur gegeben.
