Dear Tom and others,
You may want to have a look at a list of projects and activities of United Nations Global Pulse, which is an innovation initiative of the United Nations on Big Data and Data Revolution to harness the potentials of big data for society as social good, ethically and responsibly.
Many thanks! Jonggun

Dear Tom,
my book "Big Data in Organizations and the Role of Human Resource Management” (http://www.oapen.org/search?identifier=625772) is not precisely about social sciences, however, it is about the theoretical understanding of big data in organisations. Besides that there are many references in it, that may be helpful for you.
Best regards,
Tobias

Dear researchers of the Internet,
I'm looking for literature that deals with the relations between theory and method in the social sciences in an age of big data and the supposed 'end of theory'. Data is increasingly likely to be a starting point for social scientists investigating the digital world, but what does this mean for theory, method and the relations between them?
Any information and literature would be very welcome. Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
