Discovering Frequent Keyword Pairs Addressed in Operations Management Related Articles Published Between 2000 and 2016 with Data Mining

Öz

Keywords provide a summarization and abstraction of document content. Several studies utilized keyword data in academic publications to find out which concepts had been widely addressed. Focusing on Operations Management field, this study reveals and introduces the popular keywords frequently used together in articles published between 2000 and 2016. For this purpose, keyword data of articles published in 39 OM – related journals were collected into a database. After elimination of redundant data and standardization of keywords, the most common keywords were identified. Among unsupervised rule mining techniques, association rule mining was used to discover frequent keyword pairs in meta-data. The major findings of the study are important since the keyword pairs correspond to the concepts covered together in OM-related studies.

2000-2016 Arası İşlemler Yönetimi Alanıyla İlgili Makalelerde Yaygın Anahtar Kelime Çiftlerinin Veri Madenciliği İle Belirlenmesi

Öz

Anahtar kelimeler, belgelerin içeriğine dair özetleme ve soyutlama işlevleri görmektedir. Geçmiş çalışmalarda, İşlemler Yönetimi alanıyla ilgili akademik yayınları konularına ve araştırma yöntemlerine göre sınıflandıran çalışmalar yer almaktadır. Bununla birlikte, makalelerde anahtar kelime kullanımının ele alındığı çalışmalara da rastlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, İşlemler Yönetimi (İY) alanına odaklanılarak 2000-2016 arası yayımlanmış makalelerde yaygın biçimde kullanılmış anahtar kelimelerin ortaya çıkarılması hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaçla, İY alanıyla ilişkili 39 akademik dergiden makale ve anahtar kelime verisi toplanarak bir veri tabanı oluşturulmuştur. Gereksiz kayıtların ayıklanması ve kelimelerin standartlaştırılması sonrasında en sık anahtar kelimeler bulunmuştur. Sıkça birlikte kullanılan anahtar kelimelerin keşfi amacıyla, denetimsiz veri madenciliği yöntemleri arasında yer alan birliktelik kuralları madenciliği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın başlıca bulgusu olarak ortaya çıkarılan anahtar kelime çiftleri, İY alanına ilişkin çalışmalarda sıkça birlikte değinilen kavramları temsil etmesi yönüyle önem taşımaktadır.
