Big data analytics applications in information management driving operational efficiencies and decision-making: mapping the field of knowledge with bibliometric analysis using RBig data analytics applications in information management driving operational efficiencies and decision-making: mapping the field of knowledge with bibliometric analysis using R Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2025-07-102023enOrganizations may examine both past and present data with the aid of information management, giving them access to all the knowledge they need to make sound strategic choices. For the majority of contemporary enterprises, using data to make relevant, valid, and timely choices has become a must for success. The volume and format of data have changed significantly over the past few years as a result of the development of new technologies and applications, but there are also impressive possibilities for their analysis and processing. This study offers a bibliometric analysis of 650 publications written by 1977 academics on the use of information management and big data analytics. The Bibliometrix function in the R package and VOSviewer program were used to obtain the bibliographic data from the Scopus database and to analyze it. Based on citation analysis criteria, the top research journals, authors, and organizations were identified. The cooperation network at the author level reveals the connections between academics throughout the world, and Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) identifies the research holes in the area. The recommendations for further study are influenced by the findings.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Big Data and Cognitive Computing71Ragazou_et_al_Big Data Cogn.
