Abstract

Introduction: current configuration in the dynamics of production and scientific communication reveals the role of Science Oriented Towards Data, a comprehensive conception represented, mainly, by terms such as "e-Science" and "Data Science".
Objective
: To present the global scientific production on Science Oriented Towards Data by using the terms "e-Science" and "Data Science" in Scopus and the Web of Science during 2006-2016.
Methodology
: The study is divided into five phases: a) search for information in Scopus and the Web of Science data bases; b) obtaining bibliometric records; c) complementing keywords; d) data correction and crossing; e) analytical data representation.
Results
: The most important terms within the analyzed scientific production were Distributed computer systems (2006), Grid computing (2007-2013) and Big data (2014- 2016). In the area of Library and Information Science, the emphasis was on Digital Library and Open Access issues, highlighting the importance of the field for the discussions on the devices providing access to scientific information in digital media.
Conclusions
: Under a diachronic look, it was found a visible shift of focus, from issues approaching data exchange operations to an analytical perspective for finding patterns in large data volumes.
