Abstract
Information analysis describes the process of “making inferences from available data” and determining “the best explanation for uncertain, contradictory, and/or incomplete data” (Trent, Patterson, & Woods, 2007, p. 76). It is an accumulation and interpretation of evidence to support decision making (Heuer, 1999; Schum, 1987). And it represents an active, goaldirected, and often technologically mediated, sensemaking activity (Klein, Phillips, Rall, & Peluso, 2007).
