Jeff Goldsmith, Yifei Sun, Linda P. Fried, Jeannette M. Wing, Gary W. Miller, Kiros T Berhane · Public health reviews · 2021
Data science is a newly-formed and, as yet, loosely-defined discipline that has nonetheless emerged as a critical component of successful scientific research. We seek to provide an understanding of the term "data science," particularly as it relates to public health; to identify ways that data science methods can strengthen public health research; to propose ways to strengthen education for public health data science; and to discuss issues in data science that may benefit from a public health perspective.
