This study examined whether chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini provide high-quality answers to users' questions. To determine whether LLMs provided accurate, complete responses and support for further assistance, and addressed different difficulty levels and question types, we used ChatGPT 4o-mini and Gemini 1.5 Flash to analyze 84 authentic library reference questions of varying complexity and types. Our analyses demonstrated a strong, statistically significant association between question complexity (READ) levels and further assistance. ChatGPT4o-mini suggests that as complexity increases, it provides more resources but still fails to give a complete answer, whereas Gemini 1.5 Flash also reflected a significant association between question type and completeness. We conclude that, compared with ChatGPT 4o-mini, Gemini 1.5 Flash is sensitive to all question types, suggesting it can provide more consistently high-quality answers. These findings suggest that understanding the relationship between question complexity and answer quality can optimize LLMs for better information seeking. As LLMs are continually updating, this study used ChatGPT-4o-mini and Gemini 1.5 Flash. Future research should evaluate newer LLMs and human responses using a comparative methodology.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 6","pages":"795-811"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148098870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior work has largely examined episodic memory recall in simulated environments, but less is known about how immersive technologies can reconnect individuals with personal memories. This study investigated whether 360-degree video could evoke recollections tied to a specific life period. Former college students, all new to immersive environments, participated in a virtual tour designed to resemble familiar campus settings. We used qualitative coding to capture patterns and themes related to the sense of presence in immersive environments experiences. Qualitative analysis of commentary throughout the experience and post-interview reflections was used to identify key findings, major themes, and patterns among the participant narratives. Participants recalled stories from their college years during and after the experience, indicating that immersion supported the retrieval of autobiographical memories. These findings demonstrate the potential of immersive environments to evoke hiraeth—a nostalgic longing for a home that no longer exists—and to function as “memory capsules” that preserve personal experiences. The results demonstrate the emotional capabilities of immersive reality and suggest new directions for designing immersive technologies that support memory, emotional well-being, and the mitigation of nostalgia-related distress.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 6","pages":"848-862"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/asi.70070","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148067421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, prior studies have rarely examined how self-reported confidence affects both the breadth and depth of review content across distinct evaluative dimensions. This study addresses this gap using large-scale data from an open peer review platform to analyze the relationship between reviewer self-reported confidence and evaluation breadth and depth. Results show that self-reported confidence is negatively associated with breadth, meaning reviewers with higher confidence focus on fewer dimensions. However, it is positively associated with depth, as reviewers with higher confidence provide more detailed, rigorous feedback within chosen dimensions. Dimension-specific analyses show heterogeneous focus patterns. For soundness, reviewers with higher confidence attend to fewer aspects without adding depth; for contribution, they narrow focus but deepen feedback; for novelty, they broaden focus and increase depth. These findings align with attention allocation theory, suggesting that reviewers with higher confidence selectively allocate attention to dimensions they deem most relevant or demanding.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 6","pages":"863-885"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148074146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semantic axes reveal interpretable gradients along biologically meaningful dimensions and a latent quality axis that recovers prestige hierarchies. The approach also positions journals with elevated retraction rates peripherally, highlighting latent signals of publication integrity. We introduce effective radius as a measure of geometric properties; larger radii are associated with higher impact and citations.

This study examines how DH scholars are adopting and critically evaluating GenAI in their research. Drawing on an international survey of 76 respondents and 15 in-depth interviews, we investigate scholars' motivations for using GenAI tools, the specific practices through which they integrate these tools into their research, and their perceptions of the benefits, risks, and challenges associated with GenAI. Our findings reveal divergent opinions and imaginaries within the DH community: while many scholars view GenAI as a means to enhance efficiency and support reskilling, others express concern about its impact on scholarly identity, intellectual labor, and disciplinary values. Situated within the history of DH and analyzed through the lens of actor-network theory, the results suggest that GenAI is being incrementally enrolled into DH research networks, reshaping relationships among human and nonhuman actors in ways that remain contested and actively negotiated. As one of the first empirical studies on this topic, this work provides an initial foundation for understanding GenAI's evolving role in DH scholarship and points toward avenues for future research.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 6","pages":"812-830"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/asi.70066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148067414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since 1950, the term IR has primarily been used as a misnomer for document retrieval. This problematic terminology reflects a desire to go beyond documents and provide, in response to user queries, not lists of documents but direct answers. Only with the emergence of large language models such as ChatGPT has the goal of directly informing users appeared to many as justifiable in relation to IR. Such models, however, still depend on input in the form of documents. A basic problem with large language models is their inability to establish a valid connection between their answers and the sources on which they are based. Whereas scholarly norms dictate that all claims be explicitly supported by the sources and arguments used, this cannot be done satisfactorily by ChatGPT, which represents a fundamental limitation of this technology. Neglecting the documentary basis in all forms of IR is naïve, and the core concept in IS should be understood as document retrieval. Recognizing this distinction is essential for enabling users to maintain control over the search and to perform “source criticism.”","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 5","pages":"714-726"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/asi.70057","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies have examined scientists' linguistic practices in specific contexts; few, however, have provided a global analysis of multilingualism in science. Using two major bibliometric databases (OpenAlex and Dimensions), we provide a large-scale analysis of linguistic diversity in science, considering both the language of publications (N = 87,577,942) and of cited references (N = 1,480,570,087). For the 1990–2023 period, we find that only Indonesian, Portuguese, and Spanish have expanded at a faster pace than English. Country-level analyses show that this trend is due to the growing strength of the Latin American and Indonesian academic circuits. Our results also confirm the same-language preference phenomenon (particularly for languages other than English), the strong connection between multilingualism and bibliodiversity, and that social sciences and humanities are the least English-dominated fields. Our findings suggest that policies recognizing the value of both national-language and English-language publications have had a concrete impact on the distribution of languages in the global field of scholarly communication.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 5","pages":"699-713"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/asi.70055","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To explore adults' personal views on their digital well-being, conceptualized here as subjective digital well-being, this study examines individuals' emotional responses to specific lived experiences with digital information. Semi-structured online interviews were conducted with 19 participants aged 18 to 67. The interviews incorporated activities with visual elements in Miro to stimulate reflection. Deductive and inductive coding were applied during analysis. The findings revealed that depending on the individual's experiential context, digital information behaviors elicit positive, negative, and ambivalent emotional responses, which affect subjective digital well-being. For example, information avoidance can be an intuitive or strategic response to manage information (over)load and regulate negative emotions, supporting digital well-being. Furthermore, curating digital information collections constitutes a means of regaining or sustaining subjective digital well-being. The study adds to theoretical knowledge that agency and self-regulation function as scaffolding mechanisms in digital information seeking, sharing, use, and evaluation, enabling individuals to build information resilience in digital enviornments, which in turn contributes to achieving and sustaining subjective digital well-being.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 5","pages":"727-746"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/asi.70060","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
