Resumen

Este artículo revisa la bibliografía internacional sobre big data y explora comparativamente la evolución, características y temáticas de las investigaciones que sobre este tema se encuadran en las áreas de antropología, sociología y trabajo social. Se emplean métodos cuantitativos para la descripción y una estrategia analítica de aprendizaje automático no supervisado al objeto de identificar y agrupar los principales tópicos o temáticas de los artículos. Los resultados confirman que el interés sobre los macrodatos ha llegado antes a la sociología que a la antropología o el trabajo social. Igualmente, se destaca la importancia de las publicaciones inter y multidisciplinares sobre big data en estas disciplinas. Del modelado de temas emergen 13 clústeres, destacando los correspondientes a publicaciones sobre redes sociales, epistemología, metodología e implicaciones del big data, big data y sociedad, salud y machine learning.
