Original Kurzfassung:
This article studies the rise of academic data science in Germany, Austria and Swit-
zerland. By focusing on the boundary work that accompanies this development, we try to
understand current transformations in knowledge production within digital academia and
beyond. Drawing on qualitative interviews with data science scholars, we identify five lines
of demarcation in claiming universal epistemic authority. This boundary work is character-
ized by multiple tensions and varies depending upon context and counterpart, making it
inherently relational.
