Emerging Trends In The Social And Behavioral Sciences

Project Description: We envision a “smart” online discovery tool which helps users discover relevant information they did not even know existed-let alone how to find-which enables them to “learn things they didn't know they didn't know.” This highly interdisciplinary reference resource reviews and summarizes knowledge about key social and behavioral science topics and outlines emerging trends in specific fields. Moreover, by using hyperlinks, it dynamically directs users to other articles that bear directly on a topic of interest. The hyperlinks will create an intelligent multidimensional system of cross-referencing, leading users to consider a topic from multiple levels of analysis and from different disciplinary perspectives they may not have considered. Articles will be forward-looking in that each will only briefly review and summarize the current state of knowledge on a given topic, then focus on mapping emerging trends and identifying promising new lines of research. This new resource is especially timely given that increasing “spamming” and “gaming” of the Internet has led search engines such as Google to become increasingly less effective. This reference work will allow users to search efficiently and effectively within the social and behavioral sciences while promoting interdisciplinary understanding of individual topics. Features & Benefits: This project represents a unique collaboration between SAGE Publications and members of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University. Initial release of this continually updated online subscription reference work comprises five million words (equivalent to 18 print volumes) on both classic and cutting-edge social and behavioral science research topics and will be followed by bi-annual updates. To-the-point articles of 2,500 and 5,000 words each are formatted according to a common template: a) abstract and introduction; b) a description of what is presently known about the subject; c) discussion of key issues of research and emerging areas of study; d) discussion of promising future directions for research; and e) references and further readings. Authors include established scholars as well as rising stars worldwide, among them scholars who have participated in the CASBS Fellowship program at Stanford. Our Consultants' approach to selecting trends ensures that in addition to perspectives from the core social and behavioral disciplines, articles will draw on relevant humanistic disciplines, biology, the neurosciences and other fields of study as they interact with the social and behavioral sciences, thereby contributing to a broader interdisciplinary perspective on key topics. Thoughtfully constructed hyperlinks embedded in each article lead users to other articles presenting different disciplinary perspectives on a topic and/or different levels of analysis. Users have the ability to identify, capture, and download all related articles of interest. The electronic platform allows linking outside the product to works cited within articles if those works are available electronically within the collection of the user's library. Additional features under consideration include video clips and animations illustrating processes central to a topic, links to data sets and scientific visuals, ability to create custom course packs of selected articles, and ability to access content with mobile devices.

A major new online reference work, Emerging Trends in the Social and Behavioral Sciences: Interdisciplinary Perspectives contains individual essays from both established scholars and rising stars. Links in each entry direct users to other relevant entries, often in other disciplines and specialties, thereby creating an intelligent multidimensional system of cross-referencing. Thoughtfully constructed with a multidimensional system of cross-referencing, this innovative reference work allows users to consider emerging trends in the social and behavioral sciences from multiple levels of analysis and from different disciplinary perspectives Focuses on five core social and behavioral science disciplines: anthropology, economics, political science, psychology and sociology - with additional entries in related fields such as education and communications studies Reviews and summarizes the current state of knowledge on each key topic in the social and behavioral sciences, maps emerging trends, and identifies new, promising lines of research Editorial Board members and contributors such as Jacque Eccles, University of Michigan (Psychology); Marlis Buchman, University of Zurich (Sociology); and David Laibson, Harvard (Economics) are recognized globally as experts in their fields www.wileyonlinelibrary.com/ref/emergingtrends Following initial publication, essays will be updated periodically to reflect new developments and new essays will be added.

The human aspect plays an important role in the social sciences. The behaviour of people has become a vital area of focus in the social sciences as well. Recent Trends in Social and Behaviour Sciences contains papers that were originally presented at the International Congress on Interdisciplinary Behavior and Social Sciences, held 4-5 November 201

Social science is an umbrella discipline integrating principles from political science, psychology, economics, sociology, anthropology, etc. to study in detail the dynamics of the society. Behavioral science is an allied field of social science which is concerned with understanding the behavior of humans. The integration of social and behavioral sciences helps in analyzing the relationships between individuals and also their relationship with their environment. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in this field. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will benefit from this book.

The primary function of the intelligence analyst is to make sense of information about the world, but the way analysts do that work will look profoundly different a decade from now. Technological changes will bring both new advances in conducting analysis and new risks related to technologically based activities and communications around the world. Because these changes are virtually inevitable, the Intelligence Community will need to make sustained collaboration with researchers in the social and behavioral sciences (SBS) a key priority if it is to adapt to these changes in the most productive ways. A Decadal Survey Of The Social and Behavioral Sciences provides guidance for a 10-year research agenda. This report identifies key opportunities in SBS research for strengthening intelligence analysis and offers ideas for integrating the knowledge and perspectives of researchers from these fields into the planning and design of efforts to support intelligence analysis.

Fully revised and updated, the second edition of the International Encyclopedia of the Social and Behavioral Sciences, first published in 2001, offers a source of social and behavioral sciences reference material that is broader and deeper than any other. Available in both print and online editions, it comprises over 3,900 articles, commissioned by 71 Section Editors, and includes 90,000 bibliographic references as well as comprehensive name and subject indexes. Provides authoritative, foundational, interdisciplinary knowledge across the wide range of behavioral and social sciences fields Discusses history, current trends and future directions Topics are cross-referenced with related topics and each article highlights further reading

This volume explores the scientific frontiers and leading edges of research across the fields of anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, sociology, history, business, education, geography, law, and psychiatry, as well as the newer, more specialized areas of artificial intelligence, child development, cognitive science, communications, demography, linguistics, and management and decision science. It includes recommendations concerning new resources, facilities, and programs that may be needed over the next several years to ensure rapid progress and provide a high level of returns to basic research.

Presently, people are facing a condition called VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) where this condition is described as a turbulent, uncertain, complicated, unclear condition. The world of work and industry is changing quickly, driven by the development of technology, information and communication. Advances in computer technology, artificial, intelligence, robotics which is also called as the industrial revolution 4.0 eras, are of significant influence on environment and people. A time where humans must learn quickly, and an era where the future is unpredictable, where choices for various conditions are increasing and mindsets are changing. The big challenge for educational institutions, especially Islamic educational institutions today, is how to prepare young people on various aspects of cognitive, mental, and spiritual preparedness to face the changing environment. Development in the real world is far more complex than what is learned in the classroom, so it is necessary to educate and transform curriculum that is directed in accordance with the demands of present times. The 6th International Conference on emerging trends in technology for education in facing VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) is designed not only to share research, but also to offer recommendations to governments, educational institutions and other stakeholders to improve the quality of education through technology-based educational programs. The conference was held by Faculty of Education UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Scholars, researchers, policy makers, teachers, and students from various countries participated and worked together to discuss how to improve the quality of education in the Muslim community. Guided by UIN Jakarta, the 6th ICEMS of 2020 provided opportunities for various educational stakeholders especially in Muslim Communities around the world to share their creative and innovative works, opinions, and experiences in open academic forums.
