Abstract
Video-based social science research is thriving. Across disciplines and topic areas, researchers use twenty-first century video data to gain novel insights into how social processes and events unfold on the ground. In recent years, “video data analysis” (VDA) has emerged as a methodological framework to facilitate this type of video-based research. The special issue “The Present and Future of Video-based Social Science Research: Innovations in Video Data Analysis” presents methodological innovations that speak to some of the most pressing debates around VDA. Contributions showcase the range of disciplines and research fields VDA is used in, from social interactions and collective behavior to neighborhoods, policing, and public health. This introductory article outlines two areas of growth in VDA methodology that the articles of this special issue speak to: taking advantage of scale and detail in VDA, and situating VDA in the canon of research methods.
期刊介绍：
Sociological Methods & Research is a quarterly journal devoted to sociology as a cumulative empirical science. The objectives of SMR are multiple, but emphasis is placed on articles that advance the understanding of the field through systematic presentations that clarify methodological problems and assist in ordering the known facts in an area. Review articles will be published, particularly those that emphasize a critical analysis of the status of the arts, but original presentations that are broadly based and provide new research will also be published. Intrinsically, SMR is viewed as substantive journal but one that is highly focused on the assessment of the scientific status of sociology. The scope is broad and flexible, and authors are invited to correspond with the editors about the appropriateness of their articles.
