The authors review all known studies applying optimal matching or alignment(OM) techniques to social science sequence data. Issues of data, coding, temporality cost setting/algorithm design, and analytic strategies are considered and substantive findings are reviewed. The authors conclude that OM techniques have produced interesting results in a wide variety of areas, the most promising being studies of careers and of sequentially organized cultural artifacts.
