The Big (Data) Bang: Policy, Prospects, and Challenges. McNeely, C. L. & Hahm, J. Review of Policy Research, 31(4):304--310, July, 2014. ![The Big (Data) Bang: Policy, Prospects, and Challenges [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Big data is increasingly the cornerstone on which policy making is based. However, with potential benefits and applications come challenges and dilemmas. In this set of symposium articles, authors examine the promise and problems of big data, exploring associated prospects, risks, parameters, and payoffs from a variety of perspectives. The articles address myriad challenges in the handling of big data sets, such as collection, validation, integrity, and security; ontological issues attending data analytics and conceptual transformations; the foundations of big data collection for social science research; the gap between the acquisition of data and its use to advance discovery and innovation; the costs and benefits of using big data in decision making and analysis; and, finally, related problems of privacy, security, and ethics. Issues such as these will continue to arise with increased use of big data as fundamental to policy making and governance in today's growing information society.
