Web science and the two (hundred) cultures: representation of disciplines publishing in web science
Clare Hooper, Georgeta Bordea, Paul Buitelaar · 2013
Web Science is an interdisciplinary field. Motivated by the unforeseen scale and impact of the web, it addresses web-related research questions in a holistic manner, incorporating epistemologies from a broad set of disciplines. There has been ongoing discussion about which disciplines are more or less present in the community, and about defining Web Science itself: there is, however, a dearth of empirical work in this area.
