This free workshop, organised by the UK Data Service, is an introduction to computational social science. While to some degree social science research has always been marked by technological approaches, the field of computational social science involves the use of tools, data and methods that require a different skill set and mindset. The social sciences are no different, with many new forms of social data only available or practical through computational means (Kitchen, 2014). Scientific research and teaching is increasingly influenced by computational tools, methods and paradigms.
