Abstract

As the amount of digital data is growing at an exponential rate, the emphasis is on forming an insight from the data. Although the new fields of research, including Twitter data analytics, are proven to be fruitful, there is a lack of literature review and classification of the research. Therefore, after segregating 1,025 research papers, we reviewed 29 papers from 20 journals on Twitter data analytics published from 2011 to 2017, and then classified them based on year of publication, the title of journals, data mining methods, and their application. This paper is written with the intent of understanding the trend of research in this field.
