Focusing on identity formation and collective memory in community-based, non-institutional archives, the study integrates structuration theory and affect theory through a qualitative case study of the Picun Culture and Arts Museum of Migrant Labourers (PCAMML) in China. Drawing on thematic analysis of the interviews with the curator, exhibition narratives, and visitor responses from guestbooks and social media (2011–2025), the study traces the circulation of affect across curatorial motivation, narrative design, and audience reception. Findings identify three interrelated affective layers: curatorial motivations shaped by exclusion, longing, and hope; exhibition narratives structured to guide affective progression from injury to collective agency; and visitor responses characterized by resonance, recognition, and imaginative mobilization. Affect is shown to function not as a transmissible emotion but as a relational and structural force that mediates between embodied experience and social meaning. By conceptualizing community archives as affective infrastructures, this study extends archival affect theory beyond Western contexts and demonstrates how grassroots archives enable marginalized communities to negotiate belonging, reclaim historical presence, and cultivate cultural agency. The findings suggest the need to expand archival evaluation and collaboration frameworks to account for affective and experiential dimensions of archival practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 4","pages":"596-609"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147566132","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}

Yet information use, that is, the specific actions individuals take after finding the information they need, remains under-researched. This study focuses on information use in the context of health information and older adults with type 2 diabetes, asking what actions they take once they find information. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews with 23 older adults with diabetes in Canada; data analysis used reflexive thematic analysis. The study identifies four themes: (1) active application of information in personal health management, (2) ongoing knowledge integration and development, (3) critical selection and evaluation of information, and (4) sharing information as a communal practice. These findings contribute empirical evidence to understanding information use as a distinct component of information behavior, revealing that it involves specific actions such as physical activities, decision-making, knowledge integration, filtering, assessing, and sharing. These insights into information use are vital for improving the effectiveness of policies, health services, and information systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 4","pages":"610-623"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147565863","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}

Analyzing citation patterns from 5 million papers (1990–2024) citing AI literature and 1.1 million authors, we find that prestige positively correlates with citing highly visible AI work, while experience shows the opposite pattern. This divergence persists both within and beyond Computer Science contexts. We interpret these findings as suggesting that prestige is associated with social mechanisms linked to knowledge convergence toward mainstream work, while experience may be associated with knowledge diversity. These findings also reveal concerning concentration trends in AI knowledge utilization and inform strategies for more effective scientific knowledge use.</p>","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 4","pages":"580-595"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147568647","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}

Evidence from critical tweets identified by human annotation and large language models","authors":"Er-Te Zheng, Hui-Zhen Fu, Mike Thelwall, Zhichao Fang","doi":"10.1002/asi.70028","DOIUrl":"10.1002/asi.70028","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Timely detection of problematic research is essential for safeguarding scientific integrity. To explore whether social media commentary can serve as an early indicator of potentially problematic articles, this study analyzed 3815 tweets referencing 604 retracted articles and 3373 tweets referencing 668 comparable non-retracted articles. Tweets critical of the articles were identified through both human annotation and large language models (LLMs). Human annotation revealed that 8.3% of retracted articles were associated with at least one critical tweet prior to retraction, compared to only 1.5% of non-retracted articles, highlighting the potential of tweets as early warning signals of retraction. However, critical tweets identified by LLMs (GPT-4o mini, Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, and Claude 3.5 Haiku) only partially aligned with human annotation, suggesting that fully automated monitoring of post-publication discourse should be applied with caution. A human–AI collaborative approach may offer a more reliable and scalable alternative, with human expertise helping to filter out tweets critical of issues unrelated to the research integrity of the articles. Overall, this study provides insights into how social media signals, combined with generative AI technologies, may support efforts to strengthen research integrity.</p>","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 4","pages":"624-639"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/asi.70028","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147568525","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}
