The evolving of Data Science and the Saudi Arabia case. How much have we changed in 13 years?

Abstract: A comprehensive examination of data science vocabulary usage over the past 13 years in this work is conducted. The investigation commences with a dataset comprising 16,018 abstracts that feature the term "data science" in either the title, abstract, or keywords. The study involves the identification of documents that introduce novel vocabulary and subsequently explores how this vocabulary has been incorporated into scientific literature. To achieve these objectives, I employ techniques such as Exploratory Data Analysis, Latent Semantic Analysis, Latent Dirichlet Analysis, and N-grams Analysis. A comparison of scientific publications between overall results and those specific to Saudi Arabia is presented. Based on how the vocabulary is utilized, representative articles are identified.
