- AbstractWhile the Information Systems (IS) discipline
has researched digital platforms extensively, the body of knowledge appertaining
to platforms still appears fragmented and lacking conceptual consistency. Based
on automated text mining and unsupervised machine learning, we collect, analyze,
and interpret the IS discipline’s comprehensive research on platforms—comprising
11,049 papers spanning 44 years of research activity. From a cluster analysis
concerning platform concepts’ semantically most similar words, we identify six
research streams on platforms, each with their own platform terms. Based on interpreting
the identified concepts vis-à-vis the extant research and considering a temporal
perspective on the concepts’ application, we present a lexicon of platform concepts,
to guide further research on platforms in the IS discipline. Researchers and managers
can build on our results to position their work appropriately, applying a specific
theoretical perspective on platforms in isolation or combining multiple perspectives
to study platform phenomena at a more abstract level.@eng
