Using Latent Semantic Analysis to Identify Themes in IS Healthcare Research
نویسندگان
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.

Query expansion based on relevance feedback and latent semantic analysis
Web search engines are one of the most popular tools on the Internet which are widely-used by expert and novice users. Constructing an adequate query which represents the best specification of users’ information need to the search engine is an important concern of web users. Query expansion is a way to reduce this concern and increase user satisfaction. In this paper, a new method of query expa...
متن کاملThe Research Trend on Global Software Development from 1999 to 2011: the Latent Semantic Analysis Approach
Given that research in the Global Software Development (GSD) area has increased over the last decade, and is beginning to mature, this paper surveyed hundreds of GSD studies and tried to obtain a consolidated view of the areas witnessing the highest concentration of research and areas receiving scant attention in the Information Systems (IS) discipline. After careful selection, 83 research arti...
متن کاملProfessionalizing Healthcare Management: A Descriptive Case Study
Despite international recognition of the importance of healthcare management in the development of high-performing systems, the path by which countries may develop and sustain a professional healthcare management workforce has not been articulated. Accordingly, we sought to identify a set of common themes in the establishment of a professional workforce of healthcare managers in low- and middle...
متن کاملText 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...
متن کاملDiversity 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...
