“…Because of limited accessibility rights to collect scientific articles, this study focused on the journals indexed by Scopus on Elsevier's database with "logistics" or "supply chain" on its "title." To ensure the quality of the data collection, several journals that had been discontinued were removed, and they were filtered in terms of journal ranking, citations, and relevance to logistics and SCM for each subarea from January 1, 2011, to December 30, 2018 Although the definition of big data has been introduced since 2001, the focus of this study was the papers related to big data published over the past eight years in the journals, and this was in line with the results of a number of previous literature review studies that discovered that scientific articles related to big data were mostly published after 2010 (Tiwari et al, 2018) (Govindan et al, 2018) (Addo-Tenkorang and Helo, 2016 (Barbosa et al, 2018) (Wamba et al, 2018).…”
