Hotspot Mining in the Field of Library and Information Science under the Environment of Big Data

Abstract

Currently, with the implementation of big data strategies in countries all over the world, big data has achieved vigorous development in various fields. Big data research and application practices have also rapidly attracted the attention of the library and information field. Objective. The study explored the current state of research and research hotspots of big data in the library and information field and further discussed the future research trends. Methods. In the CNKI database, 16 CSSCI source journals in the discipline of library information and digital library were selected as data sources, and the relevant literature was retrieved with the theme of “big data.” The collected literature was excluded and expanded according to the citation relationship. Then, with the help of Bicomb and SPSS, co-word analysis and cluster analysis would be carried out on these literature results. Results. According to the findings of the data analysis, the research hotspots on the topic mainly focus on five major research themes, namely, big data and smart library, big data and intelligence research, data mining and cloud computing, big data and information analysis, and library innovation and services. Limitations. At present, the research scope and coverage on this topic are wide, which leads to the research still staying at the macro level. Conclusions. Big data research will remain one of the hotspots in the future. However, the most study is still limited to the perspective of library and information and has not yet analyzed the research status, research hotspots, and development trends in this field from the perspective of big data knowledge structure. Moreover, machine learning, artificial intelligence, knowledge services, AR, and VR may be new directions for future attention and development.
