For a heterodox computational social science [PDF]

Big Data & Society, 2021
The proliferation of digital data has been the impetus for the emergence of a new discipline for the study of social life: ‘computational social science’.

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.

Computational reproducibility in computational social science [PDF]

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,

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 [...]

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

On Agent-Based Modelling and Computational Social Science [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
In the first part of the paper, the field of Agent-Based Modelling is discussed focusing on the role of generative theories, aiming at explaining phenomena by growing them.

Computational social science with confidence

EPJ Data Science
There is an ongoing shift in computational social science towards validating our methodologies and improving the reliability of our findings. This is tremendously exciting in that we are moving beyond exploration, towards a fuller integration with theory

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.
