“…By combining textual and network analyses, [Joeng and Kim 2010] extracted significant topics from textual data, such as descriptions in calls for papers and session titles in scholarly events. [Arino et al 2012] focused on conference session titles and found that those titles offer a unique and distinct set of meta-knowledge, where session titles may serve as a superior concept for covering a certain range of papers. Taken together, these studies highlight the unique information available from scientific meetings, which can be a valuable alternative to traditional bibliometric analyses using journal articles.…”

“…In addition to providing prompt publication as proceedings papers, conferences themselves are considered significant sources of scientific endeavors. [Arino et al 2012] proposed a text mining techniques-based network analysis for conference sessions and demonstrated the latest of research development in World Wide Web-based technologies. They argued that conference session titles offer a unique and distinct meta-knowledge reflecting future perspectives within scholarly communities.…”

This study aimed to uncover the evolutionary processes behind the developments in the field of bioinformatics by analyzing prestigious conference presentations reflecting the prominent research in the field. Bioinformatics was selected as a representative interdisciplinary research field. Textual analyses on the abstracts of proceedings papers produced chronological networks of conference sessions. In those networks, divergent session nodes corresponded to practical papers that proposed fundamental technologies promoting new research. Convergent session nodes corresponded to papers that combined various theories and methodologies proposed in the past. The convergent session nodes play a significant role in innovation, which brings together complementary knowledge derived from different backgrounds. A joint chronological network shows a differentiation between pure scientific research and applied research, contributed to the benefit of the general public. These findings were obtained by assessing the chronological networks that reflect future perspectives on session titles in scholarly communities.

“…Text-mining has also been paid attention as new foresight tools 6), 7) . Some qualitative transformation in chronological changes in science and technology trends could be revealed with original data sets and contrivance of text-mining 8) . Here, we may show the usability of text-mining in a trial of finding chronological changes in experts' consciousness.…”

Visualizing through a text-mining approach for continuous foresight survey reports revealed chronological trends of experts' consciousness over 40 years. The direction of their consciousness largely changed after 2000 onward having stronger relationships with society, following subdivided and relatively incremental decades before 2000. Their consciousness to society has spread widely after 2000. The chronological changes of some frequently occurring words revealed some emerging fields and their necessity of societal embeddedness. However, there has still been a large inclination among the fields, which suggests an insufficiency of their consciousness to society. This has led us to have fears of essential seeds-needs incongruency in innovation ecosystems in Japan.
