Abstract
The purpose of this poster is to reveal and visualize the structure and patterns of collaborations in Big Data research through applying various social network analysis and geographical visualization methods and tools. Results show that Big Data research tends to be collaborative, and there is a global network in research collaborations. Leading countries and major collaborative networks in Big Data research are identified and illustrated. The visualizations show nations advanced in Big Data research are centralized in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, but the overall distribution is unbalanced.
