The Forum of current Historical Social Research (HSR 45.3), which GESIS publishes in collaboration with Lilli Braunisch, Malte Schweia, Peter Graeff and Nina Baur, is dedicated to the challenges of Big Data for the social sciences, i.e. the quality and analysis of analog and digital mass data in social science research - bringing together research practice and methodological discourse on the use of Big Data.
The current issue of the HSR includes a further focus on „Social Finance, Impact Investing, and the Financialization of the Public Interest“.
