Abstract

There is a growing literature on Big History after four years of the Journal of Big History (JBH) and ten years of the Evolution Almanac series. A study was done to 1) construct a reference database of these papers, which includes abstracts and many web links; 2) propose a framework to categorize these papers so that they can be filtered and searched; and 3) analyze the paper categorization to determine the statistics of frequency and topic combinations.
