Paper Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is driving technological change and the development of new products and services that rely heavily on the quality of the data collected by IoT devices. There is a large body of research on data quality management and improvement in IoT, however, to date a systematic review of data quality measurement in IoT is not available. This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) about data quality in IoT from the emergence of the term IoT in 1999 to 2018. We reviewed and analyzed 45 empirical studies to identify research themes on data quality in IoT. Based on this analysis we have established the links between data quality dimensions, manifestations of data quality problems, and methods utilized to measure data quality. The findings of this SLR suggest new research areas for further investigation and identify implications for practitioners in defining and measuring data quality in IoT.
