Description
Research in data and information quality has made significant strides in the last decade and has created an expansive body of knowledge. Given the multiple different research perspectives and research methodologies adopted, it is important for us to understand the research topics and themes that have evolved and currently define this body of research. Here, we present the results of a preliminary study that aims to provide a better understanding of this research area by identifying the core topics and themes. We analyze abstracts of 850 journal and conference articles published over the past 15 years in data and information quality. From the analysis, we identify 5 core topics and 20 core themes of data quality research. The results from this research can significantly improve our understanding of the body of literature in data and information quality.
