“…SMC considers both presence (coded “1”) and absence (coded “0”) elements equally. The detailed rationale for the choice of the clustering method and the presentation of the results are given in Syn and Ramaprasad [ 39 ] and La Paz et al [ 40 ]. The five themes represent the five equidistant clusters in the dendrogram of the agglomeration [ 39 ].…”

Ensuring access to healthcare is critical to prevent illnesses and deaths from COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 cases in health systems that have deteriorated during the pandemic. This study aims to map the existing literature on healthcare access after the appearance of COVID-19 using an ontological framework. This will help us to formalize, standardize, visualize and assess the barriers to and drivers of access to healthcare, and how to continue working towards a more accessible health system. A total of 131 articles are included and considered for mapping in the framework. The results were also compared to the World Health Organization guidelines on maintaining essential health services to determine the overlapping and nonoverlapping areas. We showed the benefits of using ontology to promote a systematic approach to address healthcare problems of access during COVID-19 or other pandemics and set public policies. This systematic approach will provide feedback to study the existing guidelines to make them more effective, learn about the existing gaps in research, and the relationship between the two of them. These results set the foundation for the discussion of future public health policies and research in relevant areas where we might pay attention.

“…We start off with a research commentary that is comprised of an anniversarial overview. As La Paz, Merigó, Powell, Ramaprasad, and Syn () note, anniversaries, though arbitrary, are often good opportunities for reflection. The focus of this reflection is the papers published by the Information Systems Journal in its first 25 years.…”

Dissemination is an important outcome for any research project and many academics aspire to publish their findings in top journals. Should it matter to researchers which top journal publishes their research? We believe that it most definitely matters. Further, we suggest that early identification of the preferred journal should significantly affect how the research article is written. For instance, deciding where to submit a substantial piece of work should drive many aspects of the process, including generating a specific research question, selecting an appropriate methodol-

“…The corpus of research on BMWM is viewed through the lens of an ontology 9 . This method of ontological review has been applied to the study of research on mHealth, 10 information systems, 11 access to healthcare in Chile 12 and other topics. The ontological review provides a comprehensive perspective on BMWM research.…”

Bio‐Medical waste is solid or liquid waste generated from healthcare activities. Bio‐Medical waste management (BMWM) is necessary to protect local community health and environment, to reduce its financial loss and to preserve its social and aesthetic values. BMWM encompasses the waste generation, segregation, collection, transportation, processing and disposal. The BMWM system is complex and challenging. The research on BMWM must address the complexity for the solutions to be effective. We present an ontology of BMWM to visualize the complexity of the system and analyse it systematically. The research corpus of all the 184 articles from Scopus on BMWM is mapped onto the ontology. Ontological and theme maps are generated to highlight the emphases and gaps in the research. The results show the roadmap of BMWM research with the dominant emphasis on its functional elements and outcomes. There is little emphasis on the composition of the waste, the stakeholders and the policy instruments that guide and regulate the system. Correcting the biases in the present research corpus will help develop effective research and practice. This review results can be used to develop a roadmap for research to improve the BMWM system.
