Abstract
The use of the term ‘Digital Social Research’1 can be traced back to the early 2000s and the UK’s £210m e-Science research programme. This programme’s objective was no less than to harness innovations in information and communications technologies (ICTs) to transform research practices across the disciplines (Hey et al., 2009). For the social sciences, digital social research has crystallised around making use of the growing quantities of heterogeneous, born digital data – e.g., social media posts, tracking and exercise monitoring devices, mobile phone records, online searches and purchases, Internet of Things (IoT), along with an expanding range of transactional and administrative records – that collectively represent the ‘digital foot print’ that people now leave behind as they go about their everyday activities – in order to observe, explain and even predict (Lupton, 2014) their behaviour.
