Editorial: At the Crossroads: Lessons and Challenges in Computational Social Science by Javier Borge-Holthoefer (211484)

“…At the turn of the century, however, it was clear that huge challenges—and new opportunities— lied ahead: the digital communication technologies, and their associated data deluge, began to nurture those models with empirical significance. Only a decade later, the advent of the Web 2.0, the Internet of Things and a general adoption of mobile technologies have convinced researchers that theories can be mapped to real scenarios and put into empirical test, closing in this way the experiment-theory cycle in the best tradition of physics</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Frontiers in Physics<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a>  <br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fphy.2016.00037" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fphy.2016.00037</a></p>…”
