Computational approaches offer exciting opportunities for us to do
social science differently. This beginner's guide discusses a range
of computational methods and how to use them to study the problems
and questions you want to research. It assumes no knowledge of
programming, offering step-by-step guidance for coding in Python
and drawing on examples of real data analysis to demonstrate how
you can apply each approach in any discipline. The book also:
Considers important principles of social scientific computing,
including transparency, accountability and reproducibility.
Understands the realities of completing research projects and
offers advice for dealing with issues such as messy or incomplete
data and systematic biases. Empowers you to learn at your own pace,
with online resources including screencast tutorials and datasets
that enable you to practice your skills and get up to speed. For
anyone who wants to use computational methods to conduct a social
science research project, this book equips you with the skills,
good habits and best working practices to do rigorous, high quality
work.
