Writing the Ideal Paper for JOM: A New Editor’s Perspective

Applying Social and Technical Topics in the Design of Management and Information Systems

The methodological topics proposed by Process Analysis, Social Behavior, Socio-technical perspective are often applied in my practitioner activities. Two experiences are presented. The first experience is running in government-owned company. The aim of the project is to develop a management system in conformity with the requirements of an international standard. The novelty is the implementatio...

Topics in Representation Theory: Other Topics

• Topology of G/T : Flag manifolds G/T have cohomology only in even degrees, with Euler characteristic the degree of the Weyl group. The Euler characteristic can be calculated by a Lefschetz fixed point argument (see Adams [1], pgs. 90-92 for this). Identifying the flag manifold with a co-adjoint orbit, there is a Morse theory calulation of the cohomology that goes back to Bott, for an outline ...

Can Scholarly Literature and Patents be Represented in a Hierarchy of Topics Structured to Contain 20 Topics per Level? Balancing Technical Feasibility with Human Usability

Introduction The Intellectual Property & Science division of Thomson Reuters curates millions of records a year covering scholarly literature (Web of Science®), patents and intellectual property (Derwent World Patent Index®) and life sciences discovery (Cortellis®). These millions of records could be connected through billions of potential relationships, such as that represented by a citing rel...

Modeling Topics

Many applications in machine learning, natural language processing, and information retrieval require methods for representing and computing with text documents. In this review, we discuss techniques that use latent, topical information in text documents for solving problems in these fields. We consider approaches to problems such as document retrieval, topic tracking, novel event detection, do...
