Social Science - Science topic

Doctoral programs vary by country with respect to how much your learning is in formal courses and how much independent study, and of course it depends what you want to do both research-wise and after your PhD. I direct a program called Assessment and Quantitative Analysis (AQUA) and as you might guess most of the courses are in methods. Social psych is a broad are so it will depend what your plans are, but I would recommend taking a lot of methods (but I am biased).

Then it will depend what you want to do.

a good paper on this that describes the alternatives is Nahm 2016:

Dear Dr Sunny Chi Lik Au . See the following useful RG link:

Thank you so much.

The operationalization of digital capital is crucial in order to research digital inequalities. Digital capital, according to the definitions of leading authors in the field of digital sociology, agrees very well with Bourdieu's analytical focus on how capitals convert into each other, which may explain how new forms are being created inequalities or maintain existing ones. As for concrete case studies in the digital sphere, digital capital offers some handy theoretical tools that are more appropriate and specific than classical Bourdieu notions such as habitus or cultural capital. Changing the nature of the Internet and modern technologies requires both flexible theoretical concepts, and existing one's definitions and conceptualizations of digital capital can serve as a potential response to challenges of digital case studies. However, digital capital needs to be further expanded to include elements of digital culture precisely because it could adequately encompass online culture and digital products, such as online memes that are becoming increasingly popular and diverse. Recent works dealing with digital inequalities in Europe and the world show that digital inequalities in many countries can be perceived through the same social factors.

Dear Oluwaseun Ayotunde Jegede

I will give you some explanations for emotional pain, and then I would like you to tell me why you want to co-author a book on emotional pain with others.

Frankl (1963) argues that emotional pain and suffering is a form of emptiness caused by a loss of meaning in life and can only be improved by means of values that provide such meaning. Greenberg & Bolger (2001) described emotional pain triggered by a trauma or life crisis as involving a higher level of emotional experience than any single emotion and resulting in damage to the self. In general, emotional pain is seen as a paradoxical state because a person’s feelings are out of control and yet repressed in order to survive and make the pain and hurt go away (Greenberg & Bolger 2001).

Hi again, Chinchu C Mullanvathukkal , interesting how the researchgate alorithm works, this paper was just recommended to me, maybe the tool they portray is just, what you are looking for:

Sample size estimation should be executed so that the study objectives could be achieved significantly. Sample size calculation depends on various factors: size of difference, significance level, power (chance of detecting a significant result if true difference is there) and standard deviation of data (to understand how much variability).

and thus the following formula will be suitable as it tends to be conservative:

[2*(Z(1-α/2)+Zβ)2 * sigma square]/Delta square

Z = points on normal distribution to give required power (β) and significance (α)

CI Approach – normal distribution – shebisos theorem – standard distribution (z value – the standardized standard deviation – standard deviation from the mean)

Confidence interval – error chance of 5% - the alpha

Z = x – mean/standard error(distribution of the sample standard deviation) – sigma / root over n

sigma / root over n = x – mew/z

root over n = Z sigma/ x – mew

n = z sigma whole square/x – mew whole square

Level of precision, level of confidence or risk, degree of variability in the attributes being measured (prevalence), external validity

1. Identify major study variable

2. Determine type of estimate

3. Indicate expected frequency of factor of interest – if study something that’s rare or normal

4. Decide on desired presicion of the estimate

5. Decide on acceptable risk that estimate will fall outside its real population value

6. Adjust for population size

7. Adjust for estimated design effect

8. Adjust for estimated response rate

Dear Joshua,

Every year happening international SOCIN conferences at Mykolas Romeris university (of social sciences) in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Dear Dr Dariusz Prokopowicz,

A very interesting topic, thank you. In my opinion, all scientific discoveries established during the previous centuries such as mathematical equations serves as the basis for the actual mathematical approach. Another example would be the geographical works of antiquity which have served both as a scientific model and also as a corpus of data which could be used for modern purposes.

Best wishes,

I think 'GRIN Publishing' is one of the vanity publishers. Do not publish your thesis or book via this publisher, it may bring trouble in your scientific career.

China is experiencing a “national movement” as companies, regional governments and academia shift gears to help the country meet its climate goals. The world’s top carbon emitter has, for the first time, published plans broadly outlining how it might achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2060, and a peak of emissions before 2030 — promises it made in 2019. The move has spurred more than ten prominent universities and institutions to set up carbon-neutrality-research institutes already this year; the Chinese Academy of Sciences launched a centre last month. But some researchers are still disappointed with the climate commitments the country has made so far...

Dear Bablu Kumar Dhar ,

The short answer is that they are equal. Both SCIE and SSCI contain journals with an import factor which is published in the annual JCR report (see enclosed file for latest version). This can be found here: https://clarivate.com/webofsciencegroup/journal-evaluation-process-and-selection-criteria/and I quote “SCIE and SSCI journals that meet these requirements are also eligible to receive a Journal Impact Factor™ (JIF).”.

The difference is the disciplines covered. SSCI and I quote “Social Sciences Citation Index™ contains over 3,400 journals across 58 social sciences disciplines, as well as selected items from 3,500 of the world’s leading scientific and technical journals.” https://clarivate.com/webofsciencegroup/solutions/webofscience-ssci/

SCIE and I quote “Science Citation Index Expanded™ now indexes over 9,200 of the world’s most impactful journals across 178 scientific disciplines.” https://clarivate.com/webofsciencegroup/solutions/webofscience-scie/

Regarding the still used SCI, as of January 3, 2020 SCI no longer exists; it is integrated in SCIE, see also: https://support.clarivate.com/ScientificandAcademicResearch/s/article/Master-Journal-List-Removal-of-SCI?language=en_USsee also: https://www.ilovephd.com/no-more-science-citation-index-sci-why/

ESCI includes journals that have no impact factor (yet), I quote “Journals that meet the quality criteria enter Emerging Sources Citation Index™ (ESCI). Journals that meet the additional impact criteria enter Science Citation Index Expanded™ (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index™ (SSCI)” and “Journals in ESCI are re-evaluated for possible inclusion in SCIE, SSCI” https://clarivate.com/webofsciencegroup/journal-evaluation-process-and-selection-criteria/

So the order of ‘importance’ is SCIE and SSCI > AHCI > ESCI > No indexing.

Best regards.

PS. Sabrina Maria Sarkar indeed AHCI journals are better than ESCI indexed journals I quote “Journals that meet the quality criteria enter Emerging Sources Citation Index™ (ESCI). Journals that meet the additional impact criteria enter Science Citation Index Expanded™ (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index™ (SSCI) or Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) depending on their subject area.

These are dynamic collections subject to continuous curation to ensure journals are in the appropriate collection. ESCI journals that gain impact move to SCIE, SSCI or AHCI. Similarly, SCIE, SSCI and AHCI journals that decrease in impact move to ESCI.”, but they have no impact factor. https://clarivate.com/webofsciencegroup/journal-evaluation-process-and-selection-criteria/

I think it is from predatory journals as I always receive some e-mails from journal which is looking like this

A bit too much of the results is presented on Researchgate with the lack of the backyard and preparation process for research. It could be good to see also the kitchen of the dinner of the researchers.

Excellent! I will follow up on this! Thank you!

Angel, I have published lots of quantitative data in the humanities. I am re-developing structuralist anthropology, using a new theory of subconscious expression of archetypal structure. The model consists of five inter-dependent layers of structure, totaling about 100 categoric recurrent features, including a spatial layer. The data thus far includes 800 artworks and rock art works, 100 built sites, four iconic sets, a myth cycle, and soon to include a pilgrimage route, and some pantheons. The subject is recurrent features in all the cultural media. The model is over-determined and highly testable.

The outcome thus far is consistent, that every cultural set expresses archetypal structure; that subconscious behaviour is prevalent and rigorous; that structuralist analysis enables some conscious, categoric, quantitative access to subconscious behaviour; that there are no exceptions; that subconscious behaviour is compulsive; and predictive. The implications for anthropology, sociology, art history, psychology, cognitive studies, and philosophy, are significant.

I expect that some researchers, and perhaps some institutes, would test some of my data, and test the model on other data. I have developed a standard format for cultural data, to enable comparison. I expect confirmation, and that the humanities would become scientific, and rid themselves of the current silent paradigm of assumptions of culture and consciousness as supposedly 'invented, developed, diffused, evolved.' The new paradigm would validate Zpif and some other theorists, and resolve many divisive issues in the human sciences.

No amount of narrative, qualitative argument could develop the human sciences, or resolve their correspondence 'theories' and confirmation biases. Only quantitative data would change the paradigm from assumptions to theory. The new model is capable of answering the big questions of the social sciences, including Who and what humanity is. The answer involves our species as embedded in natural structure, and out works as extensions of nature. Individual works use a narrow range of optional features. Randomly chosen groups of works, from 50 upward, ideally 100 upward, reveal a sixth layer of structure, being fixed average frequencies for each of the 100 recurrent features.

The data dispels fondly held delusions of Who and what humanity thought it were. I expect that the humanities could revolutionise their profile in popular culture, where the central flaw of mis-applied evolutionism is particularly pronounced.

I am adding to my data quarterly by publishing magazines themed on specific cultures or sites or media.

I invite you use my data. I situate my theory in structuralist anthropology, and give a summary of my data and its format, is at the end of my paper Blueprint. Here is a link: https://edmondfurter.wordpress.com/2020/04/01/blueprint-the-subconscious-structure-in-cultural-media/

Dear Ken Falculan ,

The journal “International Journal of Humanities and Social Science (IJHSS)” ISSN 2220-8488 (Print), 2221-0989 (Online) (http://ijhssnet.com/) is published by “Center for Promoting Ideas (CPI)” (http://www.cpinet.info/ ) and this publisher is included in the Beall’s list of predatory publishers https://beallslist.net/ . This is a warning sign. There are more warning signs that this might be a predatory journal:

-There seems to be something odd with the ISSN numbers of the journal (just look at for example https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/2221-0989)

-They ‘proudly’ present in the latest news (http://www.ijhssnet.com/journal/index/1790#ind) a DRJI indexing, which is a notorious example of so-called misleading metrics (https://beallslist.net/misleading-metrics/)

-See also http://flakyj.blogspot.com/search/label/CPI

-The indexing page misleadingly suggest a membership of DOAJ while they are not

So, I would say avoid this one.

Best regards.

That's a really good question, and perhaps unanswerable.

I see Science in one corner and Philosophy in the other corner--opposite one and other.

Will they come out to fight each other, or to cooperate?

The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic is a global epidemic. On a global scale, the state of the pandemic in March 2020 was announced by the World Health Organization. Therefore, this organization could declare the end of the pandemic. On the other hand, the end of the epidemic on a regional, national or local scale can be announced by national central institutions of the health care system, including the ministries of health, in agreement with the government. In order to be able to declare the end of the epidemic on a national, regional or local scale, it is necessary to have a relatively large decrease in the number of new coronavirus infections, a decrease in the number of people seriously ill with Covid-19 disease and deaths caused by this disease. The decrease in Coronavirus infections and in sick people should be sustained in a longer period, i.e. min. several months, taking into account the periods of possible occurrence of subsequent epidemic waves caused by new variants of the Coronavirus and occurring in other regions of the world. In addition, an important factor that may be taken into account in the event of declaring the end of a pandemic on a global scale or an epidemic on a regional scale will be the level of vaccination of citizens with highly effective vaccines against Coronavirus and the level of social, collective immunity of the society achieved thanks to these vaccines.

In my opinion, the development of ICT and Industry 4.0 information technologies, the use of Internet remote communication, the increase in digitization and internationalization of communication processes taking place during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, the development of online social networks, e.g. the Research Gate portal increases the opportunities development of international cooperation in the world of science.

Social networks are first case study of a successful interdisciplinary enterprise. The study of society and the relationships among persons within society is the subject of social sciences in general. Sociologists, anthropologists, and psychologists frequently study how interpersonal relationships are formed and how behaviours, beliefs, and emotions are transmitted across connected individuals, and network analysis uses the different methods from science and computer science also.

Cronbach alphas are a measure of internal consistency for a given sample of an specific measure. When you have high internal consistency on subscales but low consistency on the overall scale, it may mean that the construct of the complete scale is not captured well by the subscales. In other words, you may find that a construct is multi rather than unidimensional. If this is the case, then sometimes you will have a low reliability coefficient for the whole scale but high reliability for subscales. This is because the subscales are measuring more specific dimensions of the construct. Also, if the subscales are not strongly correlated, you might also find that a higher order construct represented by the complete scale will show lower reliability. If I were you, I would run a factor analysis on the measure to assess its dimensionality. Of course, there are other reasons for low reliability, such as context. That is, the alpha coefficient is not an index of the reliability of the measure in general, but rather for the unique sample and context in which data were collected. This may be worth considering as well.

Hello Dear

In literary criticism, I would recommend the integral approach which means using different approaches wherever it is needed. These approaches include the psychological, historical, political, social etc. Best regards.

Hi Dr Dariusz Prokopowicz . It increases continuously with time.

Together with Jie Zhang we investigated a similar question for tourism and using data for that particular pillar of the WTO (commitments under tourism specifically). The paper is available under my profile - it is the one published in JITED in 2013. We found out that it is mainly small island economies that may have less to gain from trade liberalisation that are not members of this pillar (or in fact of the WTO in general). Over time you will have the problem that nearly all countries are members of the WTO, so then it becomes harder to investigate your hypothesis. Perhaps you need to look into more particular explanatory factors (as we did in our paper) to increase the reliability of the data you are using. Reverse causality will of course be another classical econometric problem that you are facing - but it could be fixed using a panel data approach. Some countries may also face the problem now with hyperglobalisation that their WTO membership has led to more trade but of the extensive growth type - e.g. China may be trading more and more with the rest of the world in quantities but not necessarily earning more from those exports over time. That leads us into the current global environmental trap we are in (drawing in more and more natural resources and emitting more and more CO2 without it leading to more welfare or value) - not unlike the one the Soviet Union faced before it imploded.

More remarkable revelations about fabrication of data in high profile behavioral economics studies. This time it took some painstaking and meticilous statistical sleuthing but the results are so unmistakable that none of the authors involved attempted to defend the studies. Their only defense is that they trusted Ariely with the data, who in turn says he trusted the insurance company that provided him with it. When you think of the enormous amount of glory, publicity, and money - book royalties, consultancy fees, grants etc - that went into behavioral economics as a result of studies such as these, it is hard not to lose faith in the field (nay social science!) as a whole. The open science movement is trying to devise reforms that will prevent that in the future, but us philosophers of social science should also think hard about how to reform our norms. We unknowingly reinforce bad trends whenever we dedicate our attention to flashy new findings. I'd love to hear if colleagues have views on what such norms should be.

Probably the best starting point is Diance Vaughan's (1999) "The Dark Side of Organization: Mistake, Misconduct and Disaster" in the Annual Review of Sociology Vol. 25: 271-305. It focuses in particular on the Challenger and Columbia disasters. Vaughan investigated the first and was on the committee of inquiry into the second. 

Let's understand the difference between epilogue and conclusion. Well Epilogues and conclusions work in the same way , however ,conclusions tend to be found in nonfiction books or papers related to science usually accompanied by an introduction chapter at the start of the book, whereas epilogues tend to be found in novels and memoirs. If your work is non fiction and science based then you should consider conclusion over epilogue. Hope this helps

RE: "In Islamic divine scripture – the Holy Qur’an - the emphasis is on the heart as being mentioned to be governing (the king for) both the rationality, emotions, intellect, intuition, telepathy [sic], etc."

Locating any kind of mental activity in the heart is just a carry-over from ancient Greek views that regarded the brain as merely an organ for cooling the blood. As it happens, there have numerous cases of individuals kept alive without a heart who continued to experience all kinds of mental activity. Here's a quotation from a news report on one such individual:

« "It was an emotional roller coaster," Larkin said at a news conference, describing what it was like to live with a totally artificial heart, implanted to keep him alive until a donor heart became available. » — from https://www.cbsnews.com/news/man-lived-555-days-without-a-heart-before-transplant/

Dear Asibul Islam Anik ,

If you mean whether it is a subsection of Nature, then the answer is no. It is a separate journal called “Humanities & Social Sciences Communications” https://www.nature.com/palcomms/about which is since June 16th, 2020, published by Springer Nature. It is one of the many journals belonging to Nature’s portfolio (https://www.nature.com/siteindex ), which when I am not mistaken used to be called Nature Publishing Group (NPG).

The problem that I usually face that there are some journals that claim on their sites that they are Scopus-indexed while they aren't. On the other hand, other journals hide the facts by saying some tricks like Scopus (2020) or Scopus (2013).

For instance, one of the journals says at its main portal that it is indexed in Scopus. But I don't find it on the Scopus list. I have written many emails to them, they always ignoring me!

Hello,

Yes, a historical mapping of academic disciplines now exists: the "Interactive Historical Atlas of the Disciplines". This website, recently launched at the University of Geneva, is available in open access here:

It is an interactive atlas containing a collection of more than 200 disciplinary maps ("classifications of the sciences" or "knowledge maps") from Antiquity to our time, with thousands historical definitions of academic disciplines extracted from sources. Moreover, it includes several analysis tools (timeline, statistical tools with the ability to chart the evolution of a discipline, iconographic database, advanced search filters). For instance, it is possible to display chronologically a list of historical definitions of an academic discipline in order to study the evolution of its identity over time. The aim of this project is to map the evolution of the disciplinary borders throughout the centuries, and to reconstruct the genealogy of the sciences.

As for a "typology" of the various types of disciplinary systems (namely, the different taxonomic systems underlying these historical "classifications of the sciences"), you could find some insights in my recent paper:

Sandoz, Raphaël (2021), "Thematic Reclassifications and Emerging Sciences", Journal for General Philosophy of Science 52(1), pp. 63–85, available here: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10838-020-09526-2.

Dear Taban Ahmed ,

Your question is about the journal “Social Sciences” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/socsci). But it is in essence a question about the publisher behind the journal. This is a recurring discussion here on RG. It boils down to two opposing views where people either like the publishing model of MDPI or not. What puzzles me in this discussion is that arguments that often are used to argue that a journal is predatory (no DOAJ, no serious indexing, no transparency in costs etc. etc.) all of a sudden does not seems to apply for MDPI journals (at least not for those disliking MDPI). Facts are:

-The journal IS a DOAJ member

-The journal IS Scopus indexed (CiteScore 2.3)

-The journal IS WoS indexed (in ESCI for journals eligible for an impact factor by Clarivate)

-Many more indexing and directories like EBSCO, ERIH Plus, SHERPA/RoMEO etc.

-The journal DOES provide transparent info about costs etc.

The publisher MDPI managed to get 160 of their journals indexed in WoS and Scopus. So, based on facts they are not predatory. See for thorough (and unbiased) analysis of this publisher:

Very useful discussion. I remember, the saying "it is better to study one rat for 1000 hrs rather than studying 1000 rats for one hr if you need to study behaviors of rats". But that particular rat should be selected carefully; not to choose a 'mad' or 'disabled' rat. Now by studying this carefully selected rat (theoretical sampling) we can generalize certain behavioral patterns of rats, as well as can gain a deep understanding of the behavior of rats, in that time and space. Observing 1000 rats, randomly or even purposively (statistical sampling), for one hour would help to identify a single or couple of features of rats, in that particular context. So, the sampling technique depends on the nature (not the purpose) of the research.

Dear Dr. László Vértesy , thank you for the thought provoking question.

Advantages of a decreasing population

Long term benefits

1. Will bring better balance among the living beings/organisms.

2. Extinction of Religions and Gods

3. People will celebrate life. I think there will be no artificial, man-made death in the name of God(s), Religion, Nationality etc.,

4. People will die only by natural causes. The reaming few (People) will support each other to save the life other every other person.

Short term benefits

1. Less pollution, Lesser need for food, land and other resources.

2. More pet animals are saved from the harassment of humankind and live in their natural habitat. They may live happily (may be unhappily at times) with their Father, Mother, Sisters, Brothers and could escape from the confinement.

Disadvantages of a decreasing population

1. Long term impact - Extinction of Languages, Culture, Food Choices

2. Short term impact - Economy will shrink, more unemployment, population will have fewer young people supporting huge number of elders.

3. The streets, seemingly empty streets, buildings etc., may look devilish.

Treating the subject of the "Genesis of human creativity" means that creativity has a very specific task, where the "necessary light" to be creative resides within the being of our own essence. Each being has an "internal light" within himself, a light that has always led him to reflection when he perceives the priority interest in something that attracts him. In fact, when perceiving that light, raised by reason, or by the moment of reasoning, we do not want to reach and search for anything else, but to know how to make "go out", or rather, how to get out that "source of light" that we leads to "be creative". However, imagination always precedes us. In fact, "reason" serves to guide us towards a search for the "source" of the same moment granted to the imagination. "Human creativity" begins where knowledge of these preliminary steps ends, and that is when "knowledge itself" is "reborn" of creativity. The current perception of the crisis, due to Covid-19, adds to the same "light" a generalized feeling of "fear", "instability and a" feeling of illness ", underlining in our consciousness a feeling of vulnerability and fragility that goes walking by our side as if they were constants of "human individuality", that is why human creativity can suffer fluctuations in the moments in which we perceive that we are creative.
