Abstract
The aim of this paper is to review the lessons learned from the first 5 years (2004–2009) of the UK National Centre for e-Social Science (NCeSS)—funded by the
Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)—and outline their implications for the future development of the e-Social Science research agenda. Section 2
describes the structure of NCeSS, and §3 describes its research programme. Section 4 notes the growing diversification of e-Social Science and, briefly, how
this relates to e-Science and e-Humanities. Section 5 comments on the changing technical landscape over the past 5 years. Section 6 considers the social science
research community’s uneven responses to the e-Social Science programme. Section 7 identifies issues that have arisen around funding, especially in relation to
sustainability. Section 8 concludes with some pointers towards a more grounded programme unfolding over the next few years, while noting the danger that
e-Social Science’s transformational opportunities could yet be lost because of barriers emanating from the wider context within which the initiative operates.
