Three uses of this graphical statistical tool are as follows: (a) forming policy initiatives and making resource allocations; (b) analyzing terrorism threats and dynamics; and (c) performing structural analysis of performance data. Dimensionality analysis is compared with more commonly encountered techniques such as factor analysis, cluster analysis, and correspondence analysis, and their relative merits discussed. Data used to illustrate dimensionality analysis are drawn from the crime statistics on US cities, terrorism incidents in Israel, and performance indicators for American police departments, but the methods presented are broadly applicable to a wide variety of policing and security issues and the same principles apply to other forms of data.}, number={2}, journal={SOCIAL SCIENCE COMPUTER REVIEW}, author={Brunet, James R. and Garson, G.

Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University as part of their Visions of Governance in the 21st Century project based mostly on work in 1998. Although dated in some ways, because the work is political theoretic in nature, most of the arguments about democracy in the information age are as valid today as they were then. Although some authors utilize survey data at various points, overall the work is speculative in nature as the Visions project necessarily was. The volume provides a counterweight to writings of cyberdemocracy enthusiasts. In the opening essay, Joseph S. Nye, writing on “Information Technology and Democratic Governance,” picks up on Bill Clinton’s saying that the era of big government is over. Nye shows possible paths of the diffusion of governance from the federal government toward transnational corporations, national corporations, and local businesses; nongovernmental organizations, national nonprofits, and local groups; intergovernmental organizations; and state and local government (p. 6). Diffusion of governance is driven by three megatrends: globalization, marketization, and the information revolution.}, number={4}, journal={SOCIAL SCIENCE COMPUTER REVIEW}, author={Garson, GD}, year={2004}, pages={535–537} }

Its TextGrab module can download most web sites into a single text file. Its RTags utility can strip html code (but not Javascript code) from the downloaded file. TextQuest can do word counts, phrase (word sequence) counts, category counts using a user-created dictionary of words and phrases that belong together; keyword-in-context concordance listings by word, phrase, or category; word pattern searches; and statistical vocabulary analysis. Although featuring the bells and whistles of commercial Windows packages, the TextQuest system is functionally efficient, and the level of e-mail technical support from the author-publisher was excellent. The central deficiency was the inability of the program to deal with scripted web pages not using conventional html coding, although a future version of the package promises to remedy this shortcoming.Content analysis can lead to findings that are interesting and of theoretical significance. It is a particularly relevant approach when the focus is on verbal images, as in the study of political culture. Various theories of political culture are associated with predictions about which verbal images should be associated with certain types of subjects, such as liberal or conservative subjects. Content profile analysis, illustrated in Figure 1, can portray verbal images in property space for purposes of testing hypotheses derived from political culture theory. Figure 1, for instance, is the profile for most used verbal images distinguishing the web site of Senator Jesse Helms from that of Senator Hillary Clinton. Verbal images of "God," as one example, are a differentiating political cultural artifact for these two iconic political figures who reside at opposite ends of the political spectrum.}, number={2}, journal={Social Science Computer Review}, author={Garson, G.

This study of two of the most important seas in northern Europe, by the writing team of David Kirby, Professor of Slavonic and East European Studies at the University of London, and Merja-Liisa Hinkkanen ofthe University ofTurku, fully realizes the general editor's objective that books in the series show how "seas and oceans have had a significant cultural influence on the civilisations adjoining them. " That Professor Kirby and Dr. Hinkkanen should have made such a significant contribution to our understanding of the civilizations around these two bodies of water should come as no surprise to scholars interested in the region. Kirby's series of monographs, including The Baltic World 1772-1993: Europe's Northern Periphery in an Age ofChange (London, 1995); Northern Europein the EarlyModem Period: The Baltic World, 1492-1772 (London, 1990); and Finland in the Twentieth Century: A History and An Interpretation (Minneapolis, 1979), shed new light on the broad sweep of Baltic history over an extended period of time and marked him as arguably the most important scholar of the region's history of his generation. Readers of this journal are likely to be familiar with Hinkkanen' s insightful articles in the realm of social history, but should also be aware of her thoughtful, if too often neglected, monograph, British Trade and Enterprise in the Baltic States, 1919-1925 (Helsinki, 1984). They make a superb team. In TheBalticand theNorth Seas,Kirby and Hinkkanen synthesize an impressive range of materials in a variety of languages to give us a provocative interpretation of the civilizations that have existed along the shores of these two "mysterious northern seas. " While some attention is paid to earlier epochs, the focus is mostly on the past five centuries, with a distinct bias toward the nineteenth and twentieth. Their conception of the history of the region indeed, their rationale for treating the littorals of the two seas as a region rests heavily on a belief that the waters of the Baltic and North Seas have united rather than divided the inhabitants. In making this judgement, they bolster the general trend of the past half century, as reflected in works such as Arne Bang-Andersen, Basil Greenhill and Egil Harald Grode (eds.), The North Sea: A Highway of Economic and Cultural Exchange Character History (Oslo, 1985), and all the studies associated with the socalled Kattegat and Skagerrak Project, but especially Poul Holm's magnificent Kystfolk: Kontakter og sammenhamge over Kattegat og Skagerrak ca. 1550-1914 (Esbjerg, 1991).

The PATHfinder component performs regressions, effects analysis, and classical path analysis. In both cases, data may be input as plain text, but there is also an option to read portable SPSS files (.por format). In CHIPendale, one can get marginal percentage distributions for all variables, cross-tabs, frequencies of all variables, percentage across and down, cross-tabs with control variables for multivariate analysis, graph plot of percentages (line, bar, stacked bar, pie, fishnet), percentage differences with d/sigma d for statistical inference, chi-square,N to detect, expected values, odds ratio, log odds, Q, and gamma. For logit, CHIPendale displays the logit table, the logit sums, absolute value logit sums, and the L/SigmaL table. For Q, CHIPendale displays the Q table and the Q/SigmaQ table. In PATHfinder, one can get the partial regression coefficient for independent variables, the standardized partial regression coefficient (beta), standard error times 1.96, R, and effects analysis. Effects analysis includes display of direct, indirect, total causal, spurious, and total effects as well as bivariate association. Path analysis outputs include decomposing a bivariate correlation into exact parts, each associated with a specific structure in the causal network. Path diagrams are not supported as input or output (see Figure 1). Overall, this package serves nicely if one has simple models (as in instruction) and wishes to specify the independent, dependent, prior, and intervening variables in a straightforward manner then view basic statistical decomposition of the independent-dependent correlation using classical path analysis (as opposed, for instance, to structural equation modeling). Likewise, the cross-tabulation component generates the traditional chi-square analysis for a table but also supports the more modern logistic analysis of categorical data. If the user is willing to forgo a graphical user interface in favor of fast, interactive generation of basic statistical output, then CHIPendale with PATHfinder is an attractive alternative to more comprehensive packages, yet it can interface data with SPSS.}, number={4}, journal={SOCIAL SCIENCE COMPUTER REVIEW}, author={Garson, GD}, year={2002}, pages={502–503} }

This topic is becoming increasing salient given the now easy access to textual and multimedia information via the Internet, opening up possibilities for data acquisition that vastly expand the meaning of data as most social scientists have understood it. Correspondingly, there is a need for new analytic tools to cope with this sea change in the nature of social science data, and new ways of using existing tools. In “Teaching Computers to Watch Television: Content-Based Image Retrieval for Content Analysis,” William Evans, of Georgia State University, reviews options for video processing and seeks to evaluate the possibilities of automated video analysis in social studies of film and television content. The article, however, is equally applicable to the study of streaming media on the World Wide Web. In “Automated Content Analysis of Multiple-Choice Test Item Banks,” John M. Ford and his associates at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management use a public personnel instrument as a case in point to discuss the use of psychometric, sensitivity, content, and other item quality assessments to revise or eliminate test items with flawed content. In “Content Analysis of the World Wide Web: Opportunities and Challenges,” Chistopher Weare and Wan-Ying Lin, of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California, explore methodological considerations for those proposing to study content derived from the World Wide Web. Sampling, unitization, development of content categories, coding, and analysis are all considered in turn. In “Authenticity and Prevalence of Third Camps in the Abortion Debate: A Web Content Analysis,” Rowen R. Platt presents a case study, analyzing the abortion debate using a Web content analysis. Finally, in “A Proposed Methodology for Studying the Function and Effectiveness of Party and Candidate Web Sites,” Rachel Gibson and Stephen Ward of the European Studies Research Institute, University of Salford, UK, surveys the literature and develops a coding scheme pertinent to the content analysis of almost any political Web site. The authors seek to standardize the study of party Web sites and thereby promote cross-national and longitudinal comparative research. In the Reports and Communications section, Sharlene Hesse-Biber and Paul Dupuis provides an update on her qualitative software package, HyperRESEARCH, with a particular focus on its use in assisting the process of theory assessment in sociology and the social sciences. In the Software Review section, a number of qualitative analysis and related software packages are assessed, including Code-A-Text, Decision Explorer, The Ethnograph, SphinxSurvey, WinMAX, and WordStat. Due to space constraints, a lonely book review on computerized survey research rounds out our special issue.

The core module is a database manager that can import bibliography from Dialog and most major reference vendors. The “Internet Reference Searcher” module can import citations from the Library of Congress and the online card catalogs of most major research universities and institutions. The “Bibliography Builder” module supports complex search-and-retrieval from the bibliographic database, can output the bibliography in a wide variety of format styles, and interfaces with Word or WordPerfect to create in-text citations (author-date or numbered) that automatically add the citations to the bibliography. Reference Manager claims to be the leading bibliographic package for academic, government, and corporate users. The new version seems certain to increase its lead and is one that will enhance the productivity of any social scientist.}, number={4}, journal={SOCIAL SCIENCE COMPUTER REVIEW}, author={Garson, GD}, year={1999}, pages={491–493} }

The articles reflect the continually growing importance of the World Wide Web in social sci ence computing but also show renewed interest in social science computer simulation. In anthropology, Douglas R. White, Vladimir Batagelj, and Andrej Mrvar make an inter esting and comprehensive presentation of their innovative software for analysis of large kin ship and marriage networks. This software, Pgraph and Pajek, has generously been made available online without charge. Not only is it highly pertinent to anthropology, it also should be of considerable interest to small group researchers in sociology and psychology, network analysis researchers in political science, and other research communities focusing on relationships among finite groups of individuals. In economics, Betty Blecha, a leader in economics instruction using technology, presents a careful and very useful overview of the use of the Web in economics, assessing its instructional effectiveness. She makes the case that such use has “fundamentally altered” costeffectiveness considerations and then goes on to present an economic analysis of why diffusion cannot be expected to occur without new university policies. In geography, Scott Orford, Richard Harris, and Daniel Dorling present their work on information visualization, relevant not only to geographic information systems but also to the social sciences generally. Examples are included from geography, economics, political science, psychology, and social statistics. They also discuss the diffusion of data visualiza tion approaches, from the natural sciences to the social sciences. In political science, Mark A. Boyer presents a computer simulation dealing with mixedmotive negotiations. Illustrated from the field of international relations, the simulation also is relevant to labor relations, legislative bargaining, and game theory. Moreover, the simulation is designed for classroom use, giving students access to the concept of mixed-motive nego tiations without the need for immersion in heavily formal theoretical constructs. The simula tion also illustrates innovative use of spreadsheets as a social science tool. In sociology, Edward Brent and G. Alan Thompson, who have worked extensively on expert systems in the social sciences, discuss the literature on intelligent agents in relation to the possibilities for modeling various types of social interaction. A typology of uses of intel ligent agents is presented, and the authors conclude with an assessment of the potential of intelligent agent modeling in the social sciences. In research methodology, Barbara K. Kaye and Thomas J. Johnson extend the continuing coverage of this journal regarding computerand Web-assisted survey research. Focusing on the Internet and based on their own practical experiences with online surveys, they outline}, number={3}, journal={SOCIAL SCIENCE COMPUTER REVIEW}, author={Garson, GD}, year={1999}, pages={243–244} }

Three essays explain each approach, and seven studies demonstrate the applicability of one approach in a particular subject area. The seven subject-oriented studies include such topics as social change as measured by the content of the front pages of The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times; techniques for measuring psychological states and traits such as anxiety, outward hostility, and inward hostility; the nature of labor unrest as reflected in newspaper stories; and the portrayal of science as a process of inquiry in high school biology textbooks.

This work devotes particular attention to the relationship between computer development and government. This connection is drawn at what the authors regard as the origins of computing in the Napoleonic era and is continued through Hollerith’s machine that assisted in the analysis of 1890 U.S. Census data. There also was a close association between President Franklin Roosevelt and IBM’s Thomas J. Watson that facilitated the development of New Deal programs with their large record-keeping demands and also expedited IBM’s growth. The government-computing bond extended to World War II and subsequent U.S. national defense and space exploration efforts. This work might have been improved with less emphasis on sometimes arcane corporate and scientific conflicts and with greater stress on the development of programming languages and the formation of the Internet. A more thorough treatment of programming languages and the Internet would have further reinforced the authors’ government-computing theme. Furthermore, the authors probably should have devoted some attention to the machines invented by Pascal and Leibniz.
