Concept mapping, mind mapping and argument mapping: what are the differences and do they matter? (2011, background): “…are that they require some expertise to learn; they can be idiosyncratic in terms of design; and because of their complexity they may not always assist memorability, with learners faced with designing concepts maps often feeling overwhelmed and de-motivated (Beitz 1998; Eppler 2006; Kinchin 2001).”
Using Concept Mapping to Enhance the Research Interview (2010, background): “Introduction The mapping metaphor has spawned the development of a number of techniques that have been used to elucidate and assess understanding of complex topics (e.g., Eppler, 2006).”
Entity-Centric Information Access with Human in the Loop for the Biomedical Domain (2017, methodology): “with Mind Maps and similar knowledge management structures, such as concept maps and conceptual diagrams (Willis and Miertschin, 2006; Eppler, 2006), but are not confined to a tree structure, hence they are more apt for sharing and bring provenance in documents into the representation.”
Transforming the bio-based sector towards a circular economy - What can we learn from wood cascading? (2020, background): “While concept maps follow a top-down approach (Eppler, 2006), data were analyzed from a bottom-up perspective to classify the information inductively and subsequently identify associations.”
Psychosocial factors associated with talent development in football: A systematic review (2017, methodology): “19 We adopted concept mapping (see figure 2) to provide a visual representation of thematic 20 relationships, including their cross-connections and how these relate to talent development in 21 football (Eppler, 2006).”
