Bibliometrics is a quantitative tool for the analysis of literature published in a scientific field. Using Scopus as the data source, we perform a thorough analysis of scholarly works published in the field of big data from 2008 to 2017. The objective of the work is to find the most cited articles in the given time frame, the citation trends, the authorship trends as well as the trends of research work in the related area. The analysis shows that over 50% of publications do not receive any citations, and the average number of citations per publication is 3.17. It is also observed that single authorship of research publications has declined over the time. The analysis reveals the pioneering role played by the USA in advancing the research in big data, which has lately been taken over by China, and the large-scale usage of big data analytics in various domains of science.
