Abstract

The article discusses the main characteristics and features of the abduction method, studies the possibilities of using abduction and hybrid combinations of abductive and inductive approaches in modern digital science. It is shown that the complex use of inductive, deductive and abductive methodologies provides greater interaction and synergy in the formulation of new hypotheses and the search for cause-and-effect relationships. It is argued that in digital science, abduction must take into account the quality of big data and the context of big data generation.
