    Appendix

    All data files, analyzed results, MATLAB and Mathematica scripts (matlab_TI_analysis and

    mathematica_TI_analyis) are available on figshare. The data and results are assigned a CC-BY

    license, while the scripts are MIT license. The permanent DOI link for the entire collection of

    supporting information is https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.3279968.v2. The collection

    includes:

    Data Files - Text Analysis of Chemistry Thesis and Dissertation Titles

    https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.3469121.v1

    Results - Text Analysis of Chemistry Thesis and Dissertation Titles

    https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.3469166.v2

    Scripts - Text Analysis of Chemistry Thesis and Dissertation Titles

    https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.3469169.v2

    Readers are encouraged to download the datasets and programming scripts to use in their own

    work, with appropriate credit to this publication and author. These scripts can be run without

    expert knowledge of MATLAB and Mathematica.

    Instructions for executing matlab_TI_analysis

    1. Copy the matlab_TI_analysis.m file to an appropriate file directory on your computer.

    2. Copy the dataset text file you wish to analyze into the same file directory.

    3. Open MATLAB, and navigate to the file directory where you saved the

    matlab_TI_analysis.m and dataset text file. Right click on these files and select “Add to

    Path”.

    4. Open the matlab_TI_analysis.m file by double clicking the file, or navigating to open file

    menu.

    5. Replace “filename.txt” with your dataset filename.

    6. In the command window, type matlab_TI_analysis, then click enter.

    Instructions for executing mathematica_TI_analysis

    1. Copy the mathematica_TI_analysis.nb file to an appropriate file directory on your

    computer.

    2. Copy the dataset text file you wish to analyze into the same file directory.

    3. Open the mathematica_TI_analysis file in Mathematica

    4. Set the directory path to the saved mathematica_TI_analysis and dataset. For example,

    “C:\\Documents\Mathematica”. Next, replace “filename.txt” with your dataset

    filename.

    5. On the right side of the Mathematica notebook, right click on the open bracket and select

    “Evaluate Cell”. Repeat this for each cell (there are three), starting from the top.

    Instructions for Adapting Code with Custom Stop Words and Variant Word Combinations

    1. Follow the regular expression syntax structure present in the matlab_TI_analysis and

    mathematica_TI_analysis scripts for either deleting a word or combining words.

    2. For example, in MATLAB, to delete a word, the code is as follows:

    data = regexprep(data,'\<the\>','');

    This above line of code would delete all “the” words in the dataset.

    3. To combine words in MATLAB, the syntax is as follows:

    data = regexprep(data,'\<application\>','application*');
    data = regexprep(data,'\<applications\>','application*');
    From Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship
    http://www.istl.org/17-spring/refereed3-appendix.docx

    These two lines of code combine all instances of “application” and “applications” in the

    dataset into application*. Note: During the production of this manuscript, MathWorks

    released a new string datatype and several new functions for working with text in

    MATLAB. This new datatype along with the new text functions may provide an

    alternative approach to delete and combine words in MATLAB. Ref:

    http://blogs.mathworks.com/loren/2016/12/22/singing-the-praises-of-strings/

    4. An analogous approach can be used in Mathematica, with slight differences in the

    syntax, see mathematica_TI_analysis file for examples.
