[Objective] This paper explores the theoretical foundation and key research topics of social public opinion analysis and decision making support with the help of big data. [Methods] We first reviewed the related theories and methods of library and information science, communication studies, public administration, computer science, psychology, system dynamics, and complex network. Then, we summarized key research based on field studies and practice analysis. [Results] We proposed six perspectives to guide research design and content organization, and also tried to solve five key issues including the effects of social public opinion dissemination to government’s decision making. [Conclusions] Big data brings new opportunities for social public opinion analysis and decision making support, which require much more new research.
