Theory Research Exchange

Theory Research Exchange (T-Rex) aims to raise scholarly productivity by facilitating the process of literature reviewing and conceptual knowledge analytics.

Key features of T-Rex include:

  1. Digital encoding of publications’ core knowledge contributions and ancillary data using a labeled property graph database.
  2. Enhanced retrieval and analysis capabilities through analytics.

To support the goals, we offer the following applications:

  1. Codasaurus: Facilitates the coding process by automatically generating Cypher code for a graph version of a publication based on researcher input. The Cypher code is stored in a QR code for easy access and sharing.
  2. Analysaurus: Supports advanced querying and analysis of the encoded knowledge.
  3. Decodasaurus: Decodes the Cypher code stored in QR codes, enabling quick access to encoded information.

We offer workshops to introduce our project, demonstrate publication coding techniques, and showcase causal knowledge analytics. A recording of our workshop is available on the AIS website.
