Description
Summary:	With the advance of global positioning system (GPS) technology and widely employed applications of location tracking in everyday life, location data have been increasingly used in social science research. This not only gives social scientists unprecedented opportunities to answer important questions but also presents us with new methodological and analytic challenges. This How-to Guide introduces the basic elements of GPS data and how to prepare for GPS data analysis. It discusses different sources of GPS data, common data preprocessing tasks and challenges, GPS data augmentation, and major strands of social science research using GPS data.
