这篇介绍性文章对过去十年互联网上的社会研究进行了批判性的评估，并确定了下一个十年的研究方向。在社会研究的跨度中，十年只是一瞬间，但在互联网时代，十年却是永恒的。跨学科的社会研究是否已准备好迎接挑战？40多年来，互联网及相关信息和通信技术的发展一直是全世界技术和社会创新最具活力的领域之一。在二十一世纪的头十年，它的发展更加戏剧性。虽然搜索、社交媒体、大数据和互联网商业化等领域的创新直到过去十年才变得突出，但它们已经被大多数互联网用户视为理所当然。对我们来说，越来越明显的是，这一跨学科领域必须进一步扩大，以更好地与社会科学以及信息、通信、媒体和文化研究以外的领域联系起来，包括与法律、伦理和科学、工程和计算机科学以及跨艺术和人文学科的更强的合作联系。随着技术和社会在互联网时代的发展，这几乎将是未来十年跨学科研究的必然要求。
This introductory article provides a critical assessment of the last decade of social research on the Internet and identifies directions for research over the next. Ten years is only a moment in the span of social research, but aeons in Internet time. Has social research across the disciplines been up to the challenges? Over more than 40 years, the unfolding development of the Internet and related information and communication technologies has been one of the most dynamic areas of technological and social innovation worldwide. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, its development was even more dramatic. While innovations in such areas as search, social media, big data, and the commercialization of the Internet became prominent only over the last decade, they are already taken for granted by most Internet users. It is becoming increasingly apparent to us that this interdisciplinary field must broaden even further to better connect with fields beyond the social sciences and information, communication, media and cultural studies to include stronger collaborative ties to law, ethics, and the sciences, engineering, and computer sciences, but also across the arts and humanities. This will be an almost certain requirement for interdisciplinary research over the coming decade with technology and society moving at Internet time.
