“…A word cloud, the visual represention of text (Roderer, 2012), was created for the aggregated text of responses. Word clouds are used in qualitative data analysis to help focus researchers on the important concepts identified by research participants and can serve as indicators for future research (DePaolo & Wilkinson, 2014).…”

Values have been defined as a generalized enduring organization of beliefs about the personal and social desirability of modes of conduct or "end-states of existence" (Klende, 2005). The congruence of personal values and organizational values represent an important opportunity for positive business results and outcomes (Klende, 2005). Based on the results of this qualitative study among transformative African American women leaders in the pharmaceutical industry, it is possible that value congruence may be a factor in the success experienced by these study participants. Three value themes are reported to describe the leadership values of these study participants. They are: "people," "think," and "company." These value themes are supportive of tenets that comprise the transformative leadership model.

“…Abstracts for all publications were used for word cloud analysis that was carried out with ‘tm’, ‘wordcloud’, and ‘RColorBrewer’ packages in the R program (Version 3.0.2) to elucidate research topics and how they changed over time and across countries. Although not quantitative, the results of a word cloud analysis can be useful for quickly identifying broad topics of interest in a defined population of documents . The word cloud analysis is similar to the citation cluster analysis, which has been successfully used for tracking emerging technologies in energy research …”

Due to the complex nature of climate change, interdisciplinary research approaches involving knowledge and skills from a broad range of disciplines have been adopted for studying changes in the climate system as well as strategies for mitigating climate change (i.e., greenhouse gas emissions reductions) and adapting to its impacts on society and natural systems. Harnessing of renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuels is widely regarded as a long-term mitigation strategy that requires the synthesis of knowledge from engineering, technology, and natural and social sciences. In this study, we examine how the adoption of interdisciplinary approaches has evolved over time and in different geographic regions. We conducted a comprehensive literature survey using an evaluation matrix of keywords, in combination with a word cloud analysis, to evaluate the spatiotemporal dynamics of scholarly discourse about interdisciplinary approaches to climate change and renewable energy research and development (R&D). Publications that discuss interdisciplinary approaches to climate change and renewable energy have substantially increased over the last 60 years; it appears, however, that the nature, timing, and focus of these publications vary across countries and through time. Over the most recent three decades, the country-level contribution to interdisciplinary research for climate change has become more evenly distributed, but this was not true for renewable energy research, which remained dominated by the United Sates and a few other major economies. The research topics have also evolved: Water resource management was emphasized from 1990s to 2000s, policy and adaptation were emphasized from the 2000s to 2010-2013, while vulnerability became prominent during the most recent years (2010)(2011)(2012)(2013). Our analysis indicates that the rate of growth of interdisciplinary research for renewable energy lags behind that for climate change, possibly because knowledge emanating from climate change science has motivated the subsequent upswing in renewable energy R&D.

“…Among the most commonly used method of presenting text data in a graphical manner; Word cloud is helpful for analyzing various forms of text data such as essays and short answers or written opinions to a survey or questionnaire (De Paolo, and Wilkinson [28]). Furthermore, word cloud used as a preliminary stage for in-depth analysis of certain text material (Sinclair and Cardew-Hall [29]; Viegas, et al [30]). Nonetheless, the method has certain drawbacks as well.…”

The development in the fields of web, digital libraries, technical documentation, and medical data has made it easier to access a larger amount of a textual document. Owing to the increasing demands to obtain knowledge from a large number of textual documents accessible on the web, text mining is gaining significant importance. The aim of this paper is to find the topmost ten frequent words of the whole writing of the Editorial writing appeared in the most popular Bangladeshi Daily English newspaper entitled "The Daily Star" over the period 01 January 2018 to 30 June 2018. Finally, we representation of text data visually with the help of word cloud. The results indicate that the most frequent word highlighted is 'government' in the writing of all months considered in this study. Also, the words "Bangladesh", "Myanmar", "people", "must" and "will" emerge in the analysis.
