This study analyzes the evolution of data science vocabulary using 16,018 abstracts containing "data science" over 13 years. It identifies new vocabulary introduction and its integration into scientific literature using techniques like EDA, LSA, LDA, and N-grams. The research compares overall scientific publications with those specific to Saudi Arabia, identifying representative articles based on vocabulary usage. Why it matters: The work provides insights into the development of data science terminology and its specific adoption within the Saudi Arabian research landscape.
