Section heading
editLibrary science and information science should be applied sciences as well
editAccording to many categories, LS&IS should be classified as applied sciences with their obviously applying characteristics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.91.220.25 (talk) 02:15, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

editThe title of the first section ("What type of thing is applied science?") seems to be weird. The section itself seems incomplete. --103.31.145.245 (talk) 20:31, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
edit"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:03, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
Are some of these 'applied' sciences just natural sciences?
editLooking at the list under 'Medicine' are a number of medical specialities (clearly subsections of the discipline 'Medicine') but also a number of base sciences such as Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology. These clearly aren't disciplines _within_ medicine, they're natural sciences on which medicine is based. I'm not sure they should be in this list at all. If these are also applied sciences, what are the natural sciences on which they are based? Arguably, many natural sciences contain applications of other natural sciences - so where do we draw the line which keeps both concepts useful? For now I have moved Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology out from under Medicine but left them in the list. Over to you! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.7.103.225 (talk) 11:42, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
