Perfectionism is a personality characteristic that has been explored for its implications in mental health; reviews and meta-analyses were conducted to synthesize research findings. This study systemically synthesizes the perfectionism literature using a text-mining approach. Co-word analysis and Dirichlet Multinomial Regression topic modeling were performed on a total of 1,529 perfectionism abstracts published from 1990 to 2019. Analysis revealed that perfectionism research is closely connected with “disorder,” with “symptom” being the most frequently addressed issue. Topic-modeling results found a total of 15 topics represented perfectionism research of the past three decades. Most articles were published in psychology journals, with social and clinical psychology subdisciplines publishing perfectionism articles most frequently. There were overlaps in research topics by journal subdisciplines, while differences were also observed. This study provides a panoramic view of perfectionism literature and highlights frequently and infrequently explored areas that could be considered in future research endeavors.

Bibliometric analysis is the application of statistical methods to quantitatively analyze scientific publications. It makes it possible to evaluate the production of a laboratory, a journal or a field of research. The objective of this study is to carry out an analysis of the scientific literature published on succession in the field of family business over the last thirty years. Two different types of indicators were used. The first concerns the activity indicators, which provides information about the productivity of journals and authors. The second is about co-citation analysis which gives an idea of the links between researchers, and co-word analysis which identifies interactions and relationships between different research topics. The results obtained reveal that it is a relatively recent area of research with strong connections between authors. Gaps in the literature as well as future research directions are also presented.


With the development of web technologies, databases and social networks etc. a large amount of text data is generated each day. Mostof the data on the internet is in unstructured form. This unstructured data can provide valuable knowledge. For getting valuable knowledge from text data text mining techniques are used widely. As each day large amounts of research papers were published in journals and conferences. These research papers are very valuable for future research and investigations. These research papers act as a source for future innovations. Researchers write review papers to give updated knowledge about the specific field. But review papers used a limited number of papers and involved manually reading each paper. Due to the large volume of research papers published each day, it is not possible for the researchers to go through each paper to find the updated knowledge about their field of interest. To automate the literature analysis process different techniques of text mining were used. This paper provides a review of text mining techniques used in automatic literature analysis. We collected papers in which previous literature is used with text mining techniques to get valuable knowledge. This review paper presented an overview of text mining techniques, their evaluation criteria, their limitations and challenges for exploring literature to find research trends.

Research on entrepreneurial organizations has grown rapidly over recent decades. However, prior research has developed different ways to conceptualize entrepreneurial organizations, resulting in an ongoing discussion and a highly complex body of research, thus hindering the evolution of the literature. To improve our understanding of the structure and content of the field, we provide a synthesis of these conceptualizations and how they are reflected in the literature through a bibliometric analysis. Our findings uncover research topics and theoretical foundations of the field and how certain conversations pursue them through different conceptualizations. Building on our results, we identify future research opportunities.

Text mining presents an efficient, scalable method to separate signals and noise in large-scale text data, and therefore to effectively analyze open-ended survey responses as well as the tremendous amount of text that students, faculty, and staff produce through their interactions online. Traditional qualitative methods are impractical when working with these data, and text mining methods are consonant with current literature on thematic analysis. This chapter provides a tutorial for researchers new to this method, including a lengthy discussion of preprocessing tasks and knowledge extraction from both supervised and unsupervised activities, potential data sources, and the range of software (both proprietary and open-source) available to them. Examples are provided throughout the paper of text mining at work in two studies involving data collected from college students. Limitations of this method and implications for future research and policy are discussed.

Scientific research into isotope hydrograph separation (IHS) has rapidly increased in recent years. However, there is a lack of systematic and quantitative research to explore how this field has evolved over time. In this study, the methods of text mining and bibliometric analysis were combined to address this shortcoming. The results showed that there were clear periodical characteristics in IHS studies between 1986 and 2019. High-frequency words, e.g., catchment, stable isotope, runoff, groundwater, precipitation, runoff generation, and soil, were the basic topics in IHS studies. Forest and glacier/snow were the main landscapes in this research field. ‘Variation’, ‘spatial’, and ‘uncertainty’ are hot issues for future research. Today, studies involving the geographical source, flow path, and transit/residence time of streamflow components have enhanced our understanding of the hydrological processes by using hydrometeorological measurements, water chemistry, and stable isotope approaches. In the future, new methods, such as path analysis and ensemble hydrograph separation, should be verified and used in more regions, especially in remote and mountainous areas. Additionally, the understanding of the role of surface water in streamflow components remains limited and should be deeply studied in the future.
