Social Science Computer Review (SSCR)
Journal Descriptions
Social Science Computer Review is a leading, interdisciplinary quarterly journal that examines the evolving relationship between computing technologies and the social sciences. Established in 1983, the journal has become an important venue for research that bridges social science inquiry with computational methods and technological applications. It highlights innovative studies that apply computational tools — such as artificial intelligence, network analysis, simulation, and GIS — to understand social behavior, institutions, and policy processes. Articles explore both methodological and substantive issues, including digital communication and media effects, computer‑assisted research techniques, the societal implications of information technologies, and the use of digital data in social inquiry. The journal prioritizes work that integrates rigorous social science theory with technological insight, fostering dialogue across disciplines such as sociology, political science, psychology, economics, and information science. By showcasing original empirical research, theoretical advancements, and critical perspectives on digital technologies, Social Science Computer Review contributes to shaping how scholars conceptualize and study the impact of computing on society. Its quarterly schedule ensures a steady flow of current research that engages with contemporary developments in computing and their relevance to social science scholarship and practice.
