This book will take readers from foundational concepts to practical applications, enabling them to transform raw data into meaningful insights. It covers key skills such as data collection, cleaning, organization, exploration, analysis, and impactful presentation—core competencies for navigating today’s data-rich landscape. Each chapter is designed to build both theoretical understanding and hands-on expertise. The book’s unique dual-approach structure introduces foundational Data Science concepts, followed by exercises in RStudio using real-world datasets from social fields. While many Data Science tools and programming languages are available, R stands out for its ease of learning, intuitive scripting, and the support of a vibrant, adaptive community. Its user-friendly interface, especially through RStudio, makes it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced users alike. Furthermore, although numerous books exist on Data Science, few highlight the unique power of spatial data—a critical and underexplored area in the field. This book seeks to fill that gap, offering in-depth explanations and step-by-step guidance on leveraging spatial data in research.
