Exploring an Ethnography-Based Knowledge Network Model for Professional Communication Analysis of Knowledge Integration
Publication Year: 2018, Page(s):372 - 388Research problem: In contemporary knowledge-intensive spaces, workers often team with experts from different disciplinary backgrounds and different geographic locations and, thus, they face the challenge of integrating knowledge in their work. When modeling how communication can be improved in these circumstances, previous studies have often relied on social network analysis to understand the aggr... View full abstract»

Hand Collecting and Coding Versus Data-Driven Methods in Technical and Professional Communication Research
Publication Year: 2018, Page(s):389 - 408Background: Qualitative technical communication research often produces datasets that are too large to manage effectively with hand-coded approaches. Text-mining methods, used carefully, may uncover patterns and provide results for larger datasets that are more easily reproduced and scaled. Research questions: 1. To what degree can hand collection results be replicated by automated data collection... View full abstract»
