Illness-related transitions may be undertaken individually or collectively, but little is known about how family information networks change in the face of either transition type. Therefore, we conducted a longitudinal, mixed-methods study of information networks with 28 families managing HIV or diabetes. Methods included qualitative interviews, surveys, and social network analysis. Findings revealed that transitions were common among study families, with collective transitions more common than individual ones. Network size changed more among families undergoing collective transition versus those with individual or no transitions. Collective transition families experienced slightly more tie strength increases than individual transition families. More families undergoing collective transitions had illness peers in the family network than individual or no-transition families. Reciprocal information sharing was also more common among illness peers. Findings support a distinction between individual and collective transitions and study of information network changes in each context. Future research should further characterize the drivers and dynamics of collective and individual transitions and related information behavior, while investigating how information systems and services can help.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 2","pages":"367-382"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/asi.24994","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146091186","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, there is a notable lack of quantitative empirical research that measures DLPs' effectiveness in supporting the achievement of tangible benefits of digital literacy (DL), beyond simply acquiring it. Our study examines gaps in DLP outcomes (known as the third-level digital divide) by considering program participants' differing technology readiness. We surveyed 305 Maryland residents (in the United States) with experience in different DLPs (e.g., one-on-one or group instruction) provided by libraries, schools, community centers, and non-profits. Results from hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that frequent DLP use, combined with high motivation for initial technology adoption and high autonomy in technology behavior, leads to greater progress in digital empowerment and life betterment as DL gain increases. However, a lack of autonomy negates the effects of DLP use and the resulting DL gain. We also find that those struggling with technology unaffordability and anxiety compensate for these deficits through frequent DLP use, experiencing progress in digital empowerment as they gain more DL. We demonstrate the role of DLPs in preventing further exclusion among digitally marginalized individuals, advancing the digital divide discourse and offering practical recommendations to strengthen DLP impact.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 2","pages":"397-413"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/asi.70032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146096401","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}

Previous research has rarely explored the information practices of people with mental illnesses, particularly those with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) during life transitions. In this study, we conducted qualitative interviews with 23 people with OCD, using the critical incident technique, to explore their transitional information practices during mental health challenges and to understand how these practices support their meaning-making processes. An integrated theoretical perspective was proposed, drawing on the information behavior theory of transitions and activity theory, to understand the interplay between the activities of people with OCD and the three transitional stages of understanding, negotiating, and resolving. These activities are influenced by a complex interplay of embodied experiences, social connections, cultural norms, and practical or abstract artifacts, which in turn shape the transitional information practices of individuals with OCD. Consequently, we constructed a model of the transitional information practices among individuals with OCD. This study contributes to the literature on information practices and meaning-making during life transitions and provides practical insights into how individuals with OCD might receive information support and interventions from various communities.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 2","pages":"347-366"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146091099","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}

Research has shown that older adults have benefited from makerspaces and making with both tangible and digital technologies, especially in enhancing digital literacy. However, most previous research has not thoroughly considered older adults' unique situations and life transitions, such as retirement, and their lifelong learning beyond obtaining certain technical skills in makerspaces. In this regard, this conceptual paper proposes a theoretical foundation by unpacking the connections of theories related to the maker movement, information behavior, lifelong learning, and transitions that older adults experience. Considering the process of a transition—from an event, to understanding, negotiating, resolving, and to new life—this paper discusses how theories of lifelong learning (e.g., transformative learning, functionalist paradigm, and communities of practice) and the basic concepts of the maker movement (e.g., maker mindset) intersect with older adults' transitions and information behavior. Then, we conclude with some potential applications of our conceptual proposal to practice and research.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 2","pages":"383-396"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146096394","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}

These biases, when documented in EHRs, can significantly impact subsequent medical decisions and the quality of care. Leveraging priming theory in psychology, we introduce a novel natural language processing application that simulates cognitive activation to enhance the detection of subtle EHR biases. This approach transitions our focus from mere technical integration to comprehending the psychological underpinnings of bias perception within a machine learning framework. Moreover, employing a data-driven strategy, we investigate potential correlations between patient demographics—like age, gender, and race—and the prevalence of subtle biases through analyzing model performance, attention shifts, and word contributions. Conducted on the MIMIC database, our research demonstrates that simulating cognitive memory activation improves the model's capability to detect and classify biased language. Additionally, our findings indicate a potential association between specific biased expressions and patient demographic traits. Our work deepens the understanding of discrimination mechanisms in healthcare and underscores the value of cognitive psychological theories in crafting AI systems aimed at social welfare.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 2","pages":"414-428"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146057790","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}

Existing research has largely focused on measuring the linkage between science and technology, while overlooking the institutional mechanisms that can actively promote this process. Open Access (OA), by improving the accessibility and visibility of scientific outputs, presents a promising pathway to accelerate knowledge diffusion. This study investigates whether and how journal transitions to OA foster the uptake of scientific knowledge in technological domains, using agriculture as a representative field. We compile a panel dataset of 299 agricultural journals (1990–2024) and employ a multi-period Difference-in-Differences (DID) framework. The results show that journal transitions to full and immediate OA significantly increase the number of patent citations per article. Mechanism analysis further reveals that OA enhances social media attention and early scholarly usage, thereby facilitating the translation of research into patents. These findings highlight OA as not merely a tool for improving scholarly access, but also a strategic driver for research translation into technological innovation.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 2","pages":"429-450"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146096442","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}
