Abstract

Research on how people look for and interact with information has a long history in the information field. The current literature has been repeatedly reviewed in earlier volumes of Annual Review of Information Science and Technology. In this review, we offer an overview of the research published in this area in the years 2016–2022 with a focus on the trends that have emerged in this period. We use the term “information behavior” as an umbrella for the research area interested in how people become informed and engage with information in diverse manners acknowledging that different researchers and subfields prefer other terms and frameworks, including information practices, information experience, and health information seeking, to name a few. We reviewed 1270 articles in the field published in the years 2016–2022 and identified seven emerging trends: The CoVID‐19 Pandemic, Diversity and Inclusion, Embodiment, Misinformation and Trust, Social Q&A Websites, Collaboration, and Information Creation. The reviewed literature and trends are discussed in relation to their significance for information, earlier review of information behavior research, and the long‐debated issue of theory‐driven versus atheoretical research in the field.
2016-2022 年信息行为研究趋势:信息科学与技术年度综述论文
关于人们如何查找信息和与信息互动的研究在信息领域由来已久。在《信息科学与技术年度评论》的前几卷中,已经多次对当前的文献进行了综述。在本综述中,我们将概述 2016-2022 年间发表的该领域研究成果,重点关注这一时期出现的趋势。我们使用 "信息行为 "一词来概括对人们如何以不同方式获取信息和接触信息感兴趣的研究领域,同时也承认不同的研究人员和子领域偏好其他术语和框架,包括信息实践、信息体验和健康信息寻求等等。我们查阅了 2016-2022 年间该领域发表的 1270 篇文章,确定了七种新趋势:CoVID-19大流行、多样性和包容性、体现、错误信息和信任、社交问答网站、协作和信息创造。我们将结合所查阅的文献和趋势对其在信息方面的意义、早先对信息行为研究的回顾以及该领域长期争论的理论驱动与非理论研究问题进行讨论。

期刊介绍: The Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST) is a leading international forum for peer-reviewed research in information science. For more than half a century, JASIST has provided intellectual leadership by publishing original research that focuses on the production, discovery, recording, storage, representation, retrieval, presentation, manipulation, dissemination, use, and evaluation of information and on the tools and techniques associated with these processes. The Journal welcomes rigorous work of an empirical, experimental, ethnographic, conceptual, historical, socio-technical, policy-analytic, or critical-theoretical nature. JASIST also commissions in-depth review articles (“Advances in Information Science”) and reviews of print and other media.
