dataset or data-set or 'data set' #12

Closed psteinb closed 3 years ago

psteinb commented 3 years ago

This question drives me nuts when proof reading. Which one do we settle on? Or did we already settle on it?

colinsauze commented 3 years ago

I'm never sure which one to use either. Personally I tend to use dataset more, but I think that using computers since the time when we couldn't have spaces in filenames has caused me to tend to avoid spaces between words. I think data set is more traditional English, but both seem to be in common use. Wikipedia says "data set (or dataset)". Either way the most important thing is consistency.

thoughts @dafnevk or @florian-huber ?

florian-huber commented 3 years ago

I also prefer dataset over data set, so I suggest we keep it as it is now. (unless someone has strong feelings about this...)

dafnevk commented 3 years ago

I agree with using dataset, it is a common spelling and feels natural. Maybe we can leave this issue open to have a final check on consistency before the paper is submitted.

I have the same question in one of my previous papers. One reviewer strongly suggests that using dataset for a single form and data sets for the plural form. Don't know if this is standard English, but at least that reviewer let me pass after revision.

florian-huber commented 3 years ago

OK, thanks! So maybe we can leave it as it is and wait for the reviewer comments.
