New Computational Sociology: Sociological studies in the era of big data

本文在全面解读、分析新计算社会学现有研究成果的基础上，追溯了新计算社会学产生的历程，将新计算社会学的主题内容划分为五个方面：大数据的获取与分析、质性研究与定量研究的融合、互联网社会实验研究、计算机社会模拟研究和新型社会计算工具的研制与开发。本文以现有研究成果为实例，分别对这五大研究内容或主题进行介绍和分析。新计算社会学的产生会引发一场社会学的“革命”吗？笔者借助库恩的科学革命理论，对此进行了分析和探索。

The “New Computational Sociology Conference” held in Stanford University in August of 2014 posted a new concept of “new computational sociology”, showed us the infinite charm and bright prospects of new computational sociology. Based on a comprehensive interpretation and analysis of the existing research results of new computational sociology, the paper reviewed the history of new computational sociology, divided it into five areas by its major subjects: the obtain and analyze of big data, the amalgamation of quantitative and qualitative researches, internet social experiments, computer social simulation, and the development of new research software and technologies. The paper made an introduction and analysis of each of these five subjects via valid researches. Will the new computational sociology be the “revolution” of sociology？ The paper made an analysis and exploration with the help of Kuhn‘s theory of scientific revolution.
