The source is lacking scientific credibility. Please just read the introduction and you will see that the paper is badly organized and in parts totally incomprehensible. It is not fit as a source. Unfortunately, I have no alternative source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Netzwerkerin (talk • contribs) 14:30, 24 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

I would like to propose adding a new section titled "Applications of Data Science" to this article. Currently, the article lacks a dedicated section on how data science is applied across industries. Since data science is widely used in fields like healthcare, finance, retail, logistics, and climate science, I believe adding this section would improve the article's completeness and provide readers with a more practical understanding of its impact.I will base my edits on reliable sources, including academic journals (e.g., Journal of Medical Informatics and Journal of Financial Analytics), institutional reports (e.g., NASA Earth Observatory), and industry studies.I will base my edits on reliable sources, including academic journals (e.g., Journal of Medical Informatics and Journal of Financial Analytics), institutional reports (e.g., NASA Earth Observatory), and industry studies.

@Suz1Sn: Great idea! This article is high traffic but also less developed. The readers who come here must be looking for such information. Please try to share what you describe. Bluerasberry (talk) 13:58, 14 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Yes, great idea, but please do not rely on artificial intelligence to do your writing for you. Some of that definitely was AI-generated according to the Hive AI-generated content detector, as is the majority of Suz1Sn's user page.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 15:36, 14 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
