To be a real “full-stack” data scientist, or what many bloggers and employers call a “unicorn,” you’ve to master every step of the data science process — all the way from storing your data, to putting your finished product (typically a predictive model) in production. But the bulk of data science training focuses on machine/deep learning techniques; data management knowledge is often treated as an afterthought. Data science students usually learn modeling skills with processed and cleaned data in text files stored on their laptop, ignoring how the data sausage is made.

Data science training for social sciences - SAGE Publishing

As technology changes the world around us, big data and computational methods provide an opportunity to address current social science questions in different ways - as well as to pose entirely new questions that will help improve our understanding of humanity.

There are challenges too. Alongside ethical, methodological and theoretical challenges, social scientists need an array of additional tools, skills and experiences to take full advantage of this opportunity, while maintaining the integrity of the research process.

Our mission is to support social science by equipping social scientists with the skills, tools and resources they need to work with big data and new technology.

Learn data science online and develop practical skills that you can apply to your research right away. 

SAGE Campus is a series of online data science courses for social scientists.

Developed in collaboration with social science experts, we have designed each course to provide concrete, practical skills that can be applied to real-life social research.
