Convocatoria para publicar en monográfico sobre tecnologías y métodos
computacionales para la investigación en ciencias sociales
La Revista Disertaciones hace un llamado para
publicar artículos para el Volumen 13, Número, dedicado a Tecnologías
y métodos computacionales para la investigación en ciencias sociales y comunicación.
La revista Disertaciones
es una publicación arbitrada e indizada de la Universidad del Rosario
(Colombia), la Universidad de Los Andes (Venezuela) y la Universidad
Complutense de Madrid (España). Este monográfico está dedicado el tema de Tecnología
y métodos computacionales para la investigación en ciencias sociales y
comunicación, desde un interés interdisciplinario.
Estamos entusiasmados en
lograr compilar perspectivas y miradas desde distintas disciplinas, apuntando a
la discusión que ocupan líneas emergentes de investigación social, haciendo uso
de procesos computacionales.
El perfil del
monográfico, con las líneas posibles de discusión y trabajos a ser presentados,

Call for Papers:
The emergence of the Internet and the growing use of online tools is
opening new challenges for social research. The interpretation of communication
in digital environments barely shows its first paths of maturation. This new
logic, distanced from the centralized production in mass media, requires a
conceptual and procedural rethinking in the access and processing of social
data, as a basic input of academic research.
Thanks to the increasing computational capacities, it is possible to consider
the analysis of large volumes of data derived from a complex distributed
production and registered from various communication devices highly
personalized. The ubiquity and cheapening of sensor networks, Big Data and the
new data analytics techniques allow us to implement new approaches to
generation, preservation and analysis that make it possible to formulate and
answer questions in new ways. New forms of data management and techniques are
emerging, based on automatic learning and new modes of visualization.
What do these data tell us and why could they help us in the
interpretation of social reality? What can we really extract from these
enormous data sets (texts, images, audios and their combinations) and what can
be the forms of interpretation and analysis? What is the border between
quantity and quality of the data? What is the role of algorithms to extract,
shape and represent social reality from a digital perspective? How to establish
emergent relationships between content and knowledge in large-scale virtual
communities, with collective discourses expressed in new contexts and with
software and intelligent platforms? The roads, still incipient, give social
research a rich panorama to learn in an environment in which language continues
to operate as an expression of what is social.
As part of the new challenges, social research is inserted in an
interdisciplinary search between different areas of knowledge, in order to
enrich methodologies, organizational protocols and analysis in the collection,
preservation and classification of data, perspective that we seek to compile in
this monographic edition of Disertaciones.
With this new issue of the journal we aim to approach the Social
Sciences from the perspective of computer systems as a transdisciplinary area
useful for interpreting social reality, supported by traditional disciplines
such as social psychology, anthropology, economics, political science and
sociology. Among the research experiences, we can highlight network analysis,
sentiment analysis and topic modeling.
We seek to summon the different empirical experiences that have covered options
to answer conceptual and methodological questions around the collection,
preservation, systematization and interpretation of social data derived from
digital platforms. Contributions can come from different areas of knowledge, as
long as they point to the enrichment of social research, from the inclusion of
processing techniques, reflections and results in the interpretation of large
volumes of social and cultural data, distributed on digital platforms.
Among the lines of research, we can highlight:
- Those that gather theoretical perspectives, from classical or emerging
approaches, to interpret the logic of digital interaction and its anchoring
with social reality, pointing to epistemic (re)definitions derived from social
research.
- Those that raise operational and procedural methodologies for access,
preservation and visibility of data.
- Those that promote organizational methodologies from systematized
procedures with an interdisciplinary perspective.
Qualitative and quantitative studies are accepted, from the variety of
approaches associated with different areas of knowledge, linked with
communication and social research, among which can be highlighted: psychology,
political science, sociology, linguistics, education, and arts. We also welcome
perspectives from other areas of knowledge, such as physics, mathematics and
engineering, that can enrich this new path in academic research.
