Abstract
Common categories of scholarly work are needed to facilitate communication among di verse researchers. Although a theoretically derived taxonomy is generally important, nevertheless, for constructing a bibliography, reviewing new books, and refereeing article submissions, a classification that reflects the terminology of the entire literature is more practical. A classification scheme is out lined and within this context, the growing body of literature on computer research in the social scien ces is highlighted. Readers are invited to propose alternatives, revisions, or extensions to this class ification.Keywords
