چکیده

Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) is a new text mining approach that is increasingly being adopted by IS scholars. In this paper, we provide an overview of various research contexts in which IS and other business scholars have applied this research method. We first identity the diverse body of scholarly and field-based contexts in which LSA has been applied. Next, we propose an empirical analysis of published research on healthcare information technology (HIT) research, to identify different themes in the IS literature from 1990 to the present date. Our empirical analysis will identify key research trends in IS journals topics for three time periods, based on an analysis of papers published in 15 leading IS journals. In addition to providing more awareness of this research approach, we seek to identify important trends in healthcare IT research over times.

Text Analytic Techniques in Survey Questionnaire Development and Analysis

This research develops three text analytic techniques to improve survey questionnaires. The first is open-ended response mining. Narrative responses on a survey are mined for themes then used to develop new questions. Closed-ended responses identify subgroups who agree/disagree with the question. Then open-ended responses examined for systematic differences which suggest new constructs that dis...

Diversity in IS Research: An Exploratory Study Using Latent Semantics

Due to the pervasive and ever-changing nature of IT in modern organizations, IS research is characterized by high levels of diversity in topics and approaches. In this paper we attempt to illustrate the diversity in the IS field by applying text mining techniques on research paper abstracts that were published in top IS journals during the last 22 years. Our analysis extracts latent semantic fa...
