Problem
Informational technology has been developing very rapidly over the last few decades. Informational technology has become an important part of modern science and industry. The other thing, whose popularity has been growing as an important part of modern industry, is Big Data. Big Data’s importance has been proven by its high value in offering analytics and better solutions based on big amounts of quantitative data, which can help to design sophisticated projects with fine decisions.
Research purpose
The goal of this research report is to understand the level of integration of Big Data in the Project Management sector, the trends, correlation and level of linking between different categories in the bonding of Big Data and Project management.
Methodology
To achieve our purpose, the study analysed 773 publications relevant to Big Data, Project Management and its allied categories. A Co-word Analysis Technique (CWAT), a scientometric method for quantitative analysis of the content of academic publications, was applied for this study. The study utilised the VOSViewer® software tool specifically designed for constructing and visualising bibliometric maps. Our keywords were: Big Data, Project, Management, Role.
Scopus search settings
The search data on the Scopus portal was with the limitations to be relevant to the Master’s Program research. The search keywords look in a such way:
TITLE-ABS-KEY (“big data” AND “project” AND “management” OR “role”) AND (LIMIT-TO (SRCTYPE , “j”)) AND (LIMIT-TO ( DOCTYPE , “ar”) OR (LIMIT-TO (DOCTYPE , “re”)) AND (LIMIT-TO (LANGUAGE , “English”))
The main keywords are Big Data, Project, Management and Role. The source type was chosen to be limited to journals and the document type is article and review. Only the sources in the English language were considered for this research.
Export data
For the export of the Scopus database results it was chosen to export using the CSV file format, which can be opened using the Microsoft Excel program and imported by VOSViewer®.
The settings for the export data are such (see Table 1. CSV export):
