A Biased Review of Sociophysics
arXiv:1207.6178 · doi:10.1007/s10955-012-0604-9
Abstract
Various aspects of recent sociophysics research are shortly reviewed: Schelling model as an example for lack of interdisciplinary cooperation, opinion dynamics, combat, and citation statistics as an example for strong interdisciplinarity.
