Big Data Analysis for Social Sciences I

The use of big data is becoming more and more common in the social sciences. This session is intended to receive proposals in which this type of big data analysis is applied to different social and sociopolitical processes. Specifically, we will be focused on how platforms, social networks and technologies deal with big data. We aim to promote interdisciplinary collaboration in data science research in order to improve our understanding of phenomena such as debates during electoral campaigns around the world, public discussion processes on controversial issues, emerging social processes, social coordination, etc.

The session welcomes applied empirical works which employ big data techniques to enhance our analytical and explanatory capacity.
