چکیده

Information science and data science are two distinct yet interrelated academic fields that often lead to confusion regarding their scope and application. While they share a common goal of deriving meaningful insights from data, they differ significantly in their methodologies and theoretical foundations. Information science primarily focuses on the management, organization, and retrieval of information. It has various topics, including information architecture, knowledge management, and the design of information retrieval systems. Professionals in this field work to ensure that information is accessible, accurate, and secure, playing a crucial role in the maintenance of databases and digital archives. In contrast, data science is centered around extracting insights from large and complex datasets using statistical analysis, machine learning algorithms, and data visualization techniques. This interdisciplinary field draws from mathematics, computer science, and domain-specific knowledge to study diverse problems and generate innovative solutions. Data scientists analyze patterns within data to inform decision-making processes across various industries. This article explores the nuanced differences between information science and data science while also highlighting their interconnectedness. Ultimately, it posits that data science has a broader scope that includes information science alongside other relevant disciplines. By understanding these distinctions and overlaps, professionals can better navigate their roles within these evolving fields.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
