Text organization via projection from researcher‐space onto text‐space

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a new approach for organizing texts for researchers based on projection from researcher space (consisting of reasoning ability and research ability) onto text space (consisting of text features).Design/methodology/approach – The projection from researcher space onto text space is performed on the grounds of the differences between the sets of essential text features which are consistent, respectively, for the reasoning ability (as researcher's existing ability) and the research ability (as researcher's desired ability) using the concept of a dependency graph.Findings – Through the projection from researcher space onto text space, one can expect to find an effective text which can help a person with certain reasoning ability acquire a certain research ability in the related domain.Research limitations/implications – Acquisition of reasoning ability (ies) may call for a comprehensive questionnaire or test protocol whose validation by the expert may not neces...
