This book is a concise, easy, and practical introduction to doing digital social sciences-the key new area of social change-and the tools to study them. It may serve as a reference book and a starting point for further exploration. It summarizes quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, and postulates that we should collect what I call Thick Big Data. In my view, Big Data not only can, but definitely should, be interpreted by thick data: the more quantified and powerful the datasets we use, the more important it is to use qualitative tools that improve our understanding of the outcomes. Unlike brick-and-mortar studies, quantitative digital research often raises more questions than answers, and without contextualization it does not reveal its full potential. Qualitative studies done alone are also much less rich in the digital world, since they are based on grounded intuition of cultures much more volatile and multifaceted than in the brick-and-mortar world, although we can add numerical facts with relative ease. I do not believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to Thick Big Data, but all of the tools presented here, and many others can be combined. More importantly, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches significantly increases the value of outcome when studying digital phenomena, and with much less effort than in offline studies.
