About e-Social Science

What is e-Social Science?

e-Social Science is a term which encompasses technological developments and approaches within Social Science.  We are working with Social Scientists and Computer Scientists on tools and research which Social Scientists can take and use to help their research.  These tools might either allow a Social Science Researcher to conduct new research or else conduct research more quickly  These tools can be used across a variety of Social Science domains.  (We've grouped our outputs into subjects in our research section)

Within NCeSS, we refer to the 'e' in e-Social Science as 'enabling'

Enabling Social Scientists 

Everything we do is designed to help social scientists.  Of course, Social Science is such a wide field that it might not be apparent at first glance that we can indeed help you.  If you have a particular problem you think we could help you with, please do contact us.
