How the data boom is transforming the social sciences

Yale University is highlighting how the explosion of available data is reshaping social science research. Scholars can now analyse vast datasets on human behaviour, allowing them to test theories about societies, economies and politics with methods once reserved for the natural sciences. The trend is changing how researchers are trained and raising questions about privacy and the reliability of big-data findings.

Why now: Academic institutions and researchers are actively debating how big data is changing research methods across the social sciences.
