SNCC

The flooding of digital data generated with the rapid advancement of communication technology requires novel ways to combine engineering approaches and social scientific thinking, providing an unprecedented opportunity to examine individual’s lives, organizations, and the whole society. Considering this circumstance, SNCC was jointly established by ISDPR and Cyram Inc. (the developer of NetMiner) in 2012 and has investigated methods to harness voluminous data set based on rigorous theoretical approaches from diverse academic disciplines. By studying social, political, and business related issues, SNCC attempts to build theoretical and methodological frameworks to incorporate big data into social science research.
