Group: Computational Social Science: a book of readings

Sage will be publishing a four volume set on Computational Social Science in Spring 2010. This four volume set will republish the key articles in the emerging field of computational social science. It will include the hard-to-find classic papers that first signalled the potential of the computational approach; a selection of influential examples of computational social science from a wide range of social science disciplines, including economics, sociology, geography, political science, social psychology, anthropology and archaeology, and business and management; and contributions on the methodology of computational social science, including comparisons with other approaches. The set will be edited by Nigel Gilbert and will include approximately 80 articles. The great majority will be either articles originally published in academic journals, or as chapters from edited collections derived from conferences. They will be divided into sections, each with a brief introduction. You can help with selecting the 80 articles, using this citeulike Group. You can add your suggestions, and comment on the items already proposed. Everyone who contributes or comments has a chance of winning a free copy of the four volume set (worth about £500, $1000, €750), which will be raffled before the date of publication.
