This edited volume lays the groundwork for Social Data Science  addressing epistemological
issues  methods  technologies  software and applications of data science in the social
sciences. It presents data science techniques for the collection  analysis and use of both
online and offline new (big) data in social research and related applications. Among others 
the individual contributions cover topics like social media  learning analytics  clustering 
statistical literacy  recurrence analysis and network analysis. Data science is a
multidisciplinary approach based mainly on the methods of statistics and computer science  and
its aim is to develop appropriate methodologies for forecasting and decision-making in response
to an increasingly complex reality often characterized by large amounts of data (big data) of
various types (numeric  ordinal and nominal variables  symbolic data  texts  images  data
streams  multi-way data  social networks etc.) and from diverse sources. This book presents
selected papers from the international conference on Data Science & Social Research  held in
Naples  Italy in February 2016  and will appeal to researchers in the social sciences working
in academia as well as in statistical institutes and offices.
