Dear Distinguished Authors and Guests,

The Organizing Committee warmly welcomes you to 2020 International Conference on Social Sciences and Big Data Application (ICSSBDA 2020), held on 17th-18th, October, 2020, Xi'an, China.

The aim of ICSSBDA is to present the latest research and results of scientists (professors, students, PhD Students, engineers, and post-doc scientist) related to Social Sciences and Big Data Application topics. This conference provides opportunities for the different areas delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.

ICSSBDA-20 received more than 130 manuscripts, and 74 submissions have been accepted by our reviewers. By submitting a paper to ICSSBDA-20, the authors understood and agreed that papers would undergo a rigorous peer-review process. Manuscripts were reviewed by at least two independent, qualified experts in the field selected by the conference committee, who took detailed comments and the authors would submit a revised version in which this feedback taken into consideration. All papers were reviewed using a double-blind review process: authors declared their names and affiliations in the manuscript for the reviewers to see, but reviewers did not know each other's identities, nor did the authors receive information about who had reviewed their manuscript.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to especially thank all the editors from Atlantis Press for their great support to ICSSBDA.
