Critical data studies is the systematic study of data and its criticisms.
 The field was named by scholars Craig Dalton and Jim Thatcher in their 2015 article titled "What does a critical data studies look like, and why do we care?"
 Interest has developed in this domain as a response to the emergence and reliance on 'big data' in contemporary society.
 Some of the other key scholars in this discipline include Rob Kitchin and Tracey P. Lauriault.
 Scholars have attempted to make sense of data through different theoretical frameworks, some of which include analyzing data technically, ethically, politically/economically, temporally/spatially, and philosophically.
 Some of the key academic journals related to critical data studies include the "Journal of Big Data" and "Big Data and Society".
