Social science computing- 1967-1972
Hugh F. Cline · afips · 1899
Social science computing continues to grow both in quantity and variety of problem applications. Increasing numbers of social scientists are using increasing amounts of computer time on an increasing array of machines. Social scientists have upgraded their competence in computing and produced a number of programming systems for use in their research and instructional activities. Each year more social science graduate students are trained in the use of computers, and more social science departments now have at least one faculty member who is competent in computing. Of course, all these developments did not occur in the past five years. Important preliminary steps were taken as early as fifteen years ago. But during the period 1967--1972, social science computing has made significant progress and is now recognized as a member of the computing community.
