Computational Social Science and Sociology. [PDF]

Annu Rev Sociol, 2020
The integration of social science with computer science and engineering fields has produced a new area of study: computational social science. This field applies computational methods to novel sources of digital data such as social media, administrative records, and historical archives to develop theories of human behavior.

Special Issue “Computational Social Science” [PDF]

Information, 2019
The last centuries have seen a great surge in our understanding and control of “simple” physical, chemical, and biological processes through data analysis and the mathematical modeling of their underlying dynamics [...]

Manifesto of computational social science [PDF]

The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2012
The increasing integration of technology into our lives has created unprecedented volumes of data on society’s everyday behaviour. Such data opens up exciting new opportunities to work towards a quantitative understanding of our complex social systems ...

Computational reproducibility in computational social science

EPJ Data Science
Open science practices have been widely discussed and have been implemented with varying success in different disciplines. We argue that computational-x disciplines such as computational social science, are also susceptible to the symptoms of the crises,

Analytical sociology and computational social science. [PDF]

J Comput Soc Sci, 2018
Analytical sociology focuses on social interactions among individuals and the hard-to-predict aggregate outcomes they bring about. It seeks to identify generalizable mechanisms giving rise to emergent properties of social systems which, in turn, feed back on individual decision-making.

Mechanistic models in computational social science [PDF]

Frontiers in Physics, 2015
Quantitative social science is not only about regression analysis or, in general, data inference. Computer simulations of social mechanisms have an over 60 years long history. They have been used for many different purposes—to test scenarios, to test the

Critical computational social science

EPJ Data Science
In her 2021 IC2S2 keynote talk, “Critical Data Theory,” Margaret Hu builds off Critical Race Theory, privacy law, and big data surveillance to grapple with questions at the intersection of big data and legal jurisprudence.
