| description | Abstract There is an ongoing shift in computational social science towards validating our methodologies and improving the reliability of our findings. This is tremendously exciting in that we are moving beyond exploration, towards a fuller integration with theory in social science. We stand poised to advance also new, better theory. But, as we look towards this future we must also work to update our conventions around training, hiring, and funding to suit our maturing field. |
