Permeation of the term “analytics” in production and operations management research
通过回顾1992年至2022年《生产与运营管理》期刊的2175篇论文，分析“分析”一词的使用频率和上下文，发现该词在2020-2022年出现在约10%的文章中，较2007-2016年的不到2%显著增加。
This is an exploratory study to analyze the permeation of the term/word “analytics” in the operations management domain by reviewing 2175 papers published in the Production and Operations Management journal (POMJ) since its inception in the winter 1992 until the summer of 2022. We identify the words that commonly precede the term “analytics” in these papers. We also identify the most common words that appear in the research papers in which the term “analytics” has appeared. This analysis allows us to reflect on the contexts in which analytics studies have focused and the influence they might exert in future studies. Results show that the usage of the term “analytics” has increased from less than 2% of articles published in POMJ during the period (2007–2016) to about 1 out of every 10 articles published from 2020 to the summer of 2022.
