Welcome to the home of Real World Data Science, a new project from the Royal Statistical Society, in partnership with the American Statistical Association. This site and its content are being developed by data science practitioners and leaders with a single goal in mind: to help you deliver high quality, ethical, impactful data science in your workplace.
What are our aims?
As the field of data science evolves rapidly - with new tools, controversies, and breakthroughs emerging almost daily - Real World Data Science offers a space for timely, thoughtful responses grounded in the expertise of our contributors and reviewed by a distinguished editorial board.

- discover and learn more efficiently;
- acquire practical problem-solving skills;
- share your knowledge and accomplishments publicly;
- work smarter, ethically, and more effectively.
