Abstract

The journal “Big Data & Society” (BD&S) published its first issue in 2014. Using bibliometric indicators, this paper provides a broad picture of the journal over its lifetime. We reviewed 363 research articles published between 2014 and 2021 from the Scopus database and supplied a range of factors that affect the journal. The findings display the co-authorship and their affiliated institutions and countries (tree map, co-citation analysis). This study is the first attempt to offer a state-of-the-art overview of big data analytics through the contributions of BD&S and provides editors, authors, readers, and reviewers with a comprehensive overview of big data analytics through the lenses of BD&S.
