3. “In short, a computational social science is
emerging [field] that leverages the capacity
to collect and analyze data with an
unprecedented breadth and depth and
scale.” (Lazer et al. 2009.)
Lazer, D. et al. 2009. Computational Social Science. Science. 6 February 2009: Vol. 323, no. 5915, pp. 721-723.
12. Computational Social Science
proposes revolutionary opportunities
for the social sciences, but it has still
some challenges in relation to
methods, interdisciplinary
cooperation and research ethics.
13. Thank You!
