mathematical studies, chemical studies, biological studies.

Or we could use fancy Latin suffixes:

sociology, psychology, economicology, biology, chemiology, pharmacology, mathology (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1_uAIS3r8Vu6JjXWvastJg).

science implies a rigor which does not exist in those studies. Quite a few cities, NGOs, non-profits and other organizations make decisions on quick and dirty studies by university students involving 30 or 40 subjects because the results "feel good".

What does science mean then? And what kind of rigor are you meaning specifically?
