    Introduction


We are living in a digital era where most of our daily activities take 
place both through applications and computers. This causes the big data 
phenomenon which is an important subject for scientific research with 
increasing of available tools and processing power. As a natural outcome 
of this trend, a growing number of social science scholars are using 
computational methods for analyzing social behavior. Theories of social 
sciences such as agenda setting, selective exposure and two-step of 
information flow have been using as a theoretical backbone by many 
computational researchers. The methods of computational social science 
do not mean that a method is only executed on a computer – social 
science scholars have been using computers in their research for a long 
time. Computational social science methods in research are expansion and 
enhancement of the existing methodological toolbox.
Objective

On this book, we will focus on the implementation of computational 
social science methods and touch upon the opportunities and challenges 
of this method in social sciences. Therefore, the objective of this book 
sheds light upon (1) the infrastructure which should be built to gain 
required skill sets, (2) the tools which have used in computational 
social sciences and (3) the methods which have developed and applied 
into computational social sciences. The studies that are related with 
the theoretical frameworks and empirical research findings will be in 
the scope of this book.
Target Audience

The target audience of this book will be made up of researchers, 
scholars and students who are working in various disciplines of social 
sciences and individuals who have interest on learning the computational 
methods in social sciences.
