Abstract

This scientometric study explores the evolving research landscape of big data and sustainable development till 2024. Utilizing the Scopus database, 16,122 records were analyzed with Bibliometrix in R Studio and VOSviewer to examine publication trends, influential authors, leading institutions, and key thematic areas. The results show that research production has significantly increased, with interdisciplinary subjects including environmental science, data analytics, and public policy making important contributions. With a focus on real-time environmental monitoring, predictive analytics for resource management, and data-driven policymaking, the analysis demonstrates a paradigm shift towards incorporating big data analytics into sustainable development methods. Co-authorship networks and keyword analysis highlight artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics as dominant themes. This study offers insights into the integration of big data in sustainable development by mapping trends and knowledge gaps, directing future research and encouraging international cooperation.
