Abstract

Note to Reviewer: This is a paper that was published as conference proceedings, but not to a sociological audience. If you find it appropriate, I’d like to bring this discussion to ASA as well. I work through existing big data analyses and examine theoretical and methodological issues using published big data papers as well as primary research.
