We chart the evolution of the field, from early-digital methodologies to contemporary data-intensive approaches, through systemic bibliometric analysis. We found three developmental phases, identified major research clusters, and mapped grant collaboration networks globally. This analysis shows how computational methods have enhanced the empirical capabilities of social science while posing new epistemological and ethical challenges. We then discuss a number of distinct areas of innovation in hybrid methodologies, and we outline a framework for responsible computational social science, which copes with demand for technical solutions while maintaining disciplinary rigor.

摘要

Here, we present a comprehensive, extant literature research study analyzing 2158 publications from this burgeoning intersection of social sciences and computing. We chart the evolution of the field, from early-digital methodologies to contemporary data-intensive approaches, through systemic bibliometric analysis. We found three developmental phases, identified major research clusters, and mapped grant collaboration networks globally. This analysis shows how computational methods have enhanced the empirical capabilities of social science while posing new epistemological and ethical challenges. We then discuss a number of distinct areas of innovation in hybrid methodologies, and we outline a framework for responsible computational social science, which copes with demand for technical solutions while maintaining disciplinary rigor.
