- If a term belongs to theoretical core of the one of the behavior or innovation theories, it is assigned to the category of corresponding literature (e.g., the term ‘diffusion’ is assigned to innovation studies category),
- If a term is specifically discussed in reviews of one of the behavior or innovation literature but not discussed in the other, the term is assigned to one that discusses it (e.g., SPT is assigned to behavior literature),
- If it is clear that a term is more frequently used by one of the candidate literature, it is assigned to that category (e.g., the terms ‘attitude’ and ‘norm’ is assigned to behavior studies category)
- If a term is frequently used by both research fields, it is assigned to commons category (as the term ‘barriers’ is assigned to commons category).
