[Purpose/Significance] To study the trend over the past and the present situation of big data application, and indicate the development regulation and trend in the future,. [Method/Process] the paper analyzes literature year distribution, journal distribution and author distribution of big data application field, and the first to verify whether or not its development corresponds to the three fundamental bibliometric laws, though there are lots of factors that had not been taken into consideration. [Result/Conclusion] Results shows that: 1. Starting in 1990, literatures related to big data application field went through a period of stable development, and appears to develop rapidly from 2012, whose development corresponds to Price law of scientific literature growth. 2. Development of the literature sample in the study is in line with Bradford's law, and formed a group of Core journals, including Bmc bioinformatics, Sensors, Big data and so on. 3. In the view of the author distribution, distribution in this filed is far different from that in Lotka's law, and there’s no doubt that it has not yet formed Core author group.
