[1] It focuses on investigating social and behavioral relationships and interactions using data science approaches (such as machine learning or rule-based analysis), network analysis, social simulation and studies using interactive systems.
On the other hand, SSC is the field in which computational methodologies are created to assist in explanations of social phenomena.
Computational social science work increasingly relies on the greater availability of large databases, currently constructed and maintained by a number of interdisciplinary projects, including: The analysis of vast quantities of historical newspaper[14] and book content[15] have been pioneered in 2017, while other studies on similar data[16] showed how periodic structures can be automatically discovered in historical newspapers.
A similar analysis was performed on social media, again revealing strongly periodic structures.
There are some scholarly works, particularly from computer science which seem to hold the discipline together, but beyond that there are more diverse communities.
