Like any other taxonomy that is created inductively, we cannot say unequivocally that this is the only possible taxonomy. We can say, however, that it is sufficiently comprehensive to classify each of the 5,780 articles included in our review. Also, it is important to note that the comparison of publication trends with broader human capital trends involves the inevitable task of trying to map categories from one area onto the other. This can be challenging, especially when the terms used by academics and practitioners do not overlap, as we illustrate in the Discussion section with the particular case of talent management. Given the use of different terminology, and sometimes different meanings attached to the same terms, the exercise of trying to map one set of categories onto the other is challenging, regardless of the categories included in the taxonomies.
