--- res: bibo_abstract: - 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 bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Christian foaf_name: Bartelheimer, Christian foaf_surname: Bartelheimer - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Philipp foaf_name: zur Heiden, Philipp foaf_surname: zur Heiden - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Hedda foaf_name: Lüttenberg, Hedda foaf_surname: Lüttenberg - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Daniel foaf_name: Beverungen, Daniel foaf_surname: Beverungen bibo_doi: 10.1007/s12525-022-00530-6 bibo_issue: '1' bibo_volume: 32 dct_date: 2022^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1019-6781 - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1422-8890 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC@ dct_subject: - Management of Technology and Innovation - Marketing - Computer Science Applications - Economics and Econometrics - Business and International Management dct_title: 'Systematizing the lexicon of platforms in information systems: a data-driven study@' ...
