Big data and social studies in China’s governance: status quo, problems, and prospects
The two potential orientations that are scientific research and social application
in big data studies
and their relationship were clarified. In light of this
the chances
challenges that big data brings and its weakness towards social studies were explored. Based on specifying the three properties of big data as statistical numbers

and as technical functions
their respective positions of different disciplines in big data-based social studies
and both the difficulties and their sources in cooperation between different disciplines were shed light on.
