Social Data Science

The present work aims to locate and contextualize some scientific and methodological definitions for the emerging field of Social Data Science. For being an extremely new area, the search encompasses orientations to organize this new look to the Social Sciences, using authors and methods from the constituent areas of Computational Social Sciences and Digital Humanities, among them Digital Sociology. Following the process proposed by Data Science, the research brings reflections on the making and use of graphic products as effectors of the information extraction process and conduction of human or machine learning decision making. The human development linked to technology is relatively new and this work relates to the current moment of humanity.
