In recent years, new trends and new theories in cognitive science, complex science, computational social science and other related fields have brought new opportunities for the development of information/intelligence studies; the rise of big data and artificial intelligence has provided new methods and new technologies for information/intelligence studies. Based on tracing recent developments of information/intelligence studies, the paper summarized ten characteristics of information/intelligence studies to show the full picture of information/intelligence studies in the big data environment, which are computerization, simulation, platformization, knowledge-based, intelligent, integration, multi-data fusion, methods combination, results aggregations, and human-machine integration.
