How the social sciences can embrace the big data revolution

Great to see this article! As one of the co-authors, I feel it reflects the White Paper findings well. At SAGE, we believe social science research could benefit from the big data revolution which has already transformed fields such as biology, astronomy, and physics. The survey we conducted helps us to understand the challenges facing researchers in the social sciences who want to work with large data sets or teach students how to do so. We hope, through our publishing, product development and advocacy work, to help relieve some of these pain points.
