An information seeker's environment—the Internet, television, newspapers, schools, libraries, bookstores, and social networks—abounds with information resources that need to be evaluated for both their usefulness and their likely level of accuracy. As people gain access to a wider variety of information resources, they face greater uncertainty regarding who and what can be believed and, indeed, who or what is responsible for the information they encounter. Moreover, they have to develop new skills and strategies for determining how to assess the credibility of an information source. Historically, the credibility of information has been maintained largely by professional knowledge workers such as editors, reviewers, publishers, news reporters, and librarians. Today, quality control mechanisms are evolving in such a way that a vast amount of information accessed through a wide variety of systems and resources is out of date, incomplete, poorly organized, or simply inaccurate (Janes & Rosenfeld, 1996). Credibility has been examined across a number of fields ranging from communication, information science, psychology, marketing, and the management sciences to interdisciplinary efforts in human-computer interaction (HCI). Each field has examined the construct and its practical significance using fundamentally different approaches, goals, and presuppositions, all of which results in conflicting views of credibility and its effects. The notion of credibility has been discussed at least since Aristotle's examination of ethos and his observations of speakers' relative abilities to persuade listeners. Disciplinary approaches to investigating credibility systematically developed only in the last century, beginning within the field of communication. A landmark among these efforts was the work of Hovland and colleagues (Hovland, Jannis, & Kelley, 1953; Hovland & Weiss, 1951), who focused on the influence of various characteristics of a source on a recipient's message acceptance. This work was followed by decades of interest in the relative credibility of media involving comparisons between newspapers, radio, television, Communication researchers have tended to focus on sources and media, viewing credibility as a perceived characteristic. Within information science, the focus is on the evaluation of information, most typically instantiated in documents and statements. Here, credibility has been viewed largely as a criterion for relevance judgment, with researchers focusing on how information seekers assess a document's likely level of This brief account highlights an often implicit focus on varying objects …","PeriodicalId":55509,"journal":{"name":"Annual Review of Information Science and Technology","volume":"41 1","pages":"307-364"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/aris.2007.1440410114","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115492889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Garfield is the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), now Thomson Scientific, which launched the Science Citation Index (SCI), the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI). The impact factor is a citation measure that Garfield created during the process of developing these indexes. Simply defined, the impact factor is the ratio of the total number of citations in the journals covered by IS1 during a processing year to the issues a given journal published during the two years preceding the processing year divided by the number of citable source items published in this journal during those two preceding years. This chapter is historical, comprising an intellectual biography of Garfield. It discusses in detail the political, social, and intellectual influences affecting Garfield in his creation of the impact factor. The focus is on Garfield himself, the small group of intellectuals comprising his mentors and colleagues-Garfield’s “invisible college” in Price’s (1963, pp. 85-91) terminology-and his company, ISI. The thought processes and analyses surrounding the creation of the impact factor are described and placed in the theoretical structure that Garfield developed. Finally, the way the impact factor was utilized in determining the journal coverage of ISI’s indexes is analyzed. This chapter is not a comprehensive treatment of citation indexing, citation measures, or the use of the latter for the evaluation of journals, academic personnel, and academic programs. The emphasis is upon Garfield’s own writings about these matters and upon those of persons who either greatly influenced his intellectual development or to whom he felt compelled to resp0nd.l Other writings are discussed only insofar as they highlight or validate the principles on which Garfield based his ideas.","PeriodicalId":55509,"journal":{"name":"Annual Review of Information Science and Technology","volume":"41 1","pages":"93-155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/aris.2007.1440410110","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114327444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Context in information behavior research 信息行为研究中的语境

Over the past 20 years or so, this subfield of LIS has acknowledged a shift in focus from the study of people interacting directly with information systems to the study of the people themselves and how they seek and use information independently of specific sources and systems (Pettigrew, Fidel, & Bruce, 20011. The “user-centered paradigm” not only emphasizes the understanding of information practices from the human standpoint but also views these practices as a process that takes place within specified situations and contexts (Vakkari, Savolainen, & Dervin, 1997; Wilson & Allen, 1999). However, conceptualizing context for the study of information needs, seeking, and use remains problematic for INSU researchers. What elements constitute a context? How are contexts understood by their participants? How and why do they change? How should information needs, seeking, and use be studied from a user-centered standpoint and in context? Although there is general agreement that context constitutes a frame of reference for information behavior (Vakkari et al., 1997)) there is little agreement within the INSU literature as to how such a frame is established by or for the actor group1 in question or how it operates with regard to information practices. In spite of a growing emphasis on the problem of context, most INSU literature fails to address it theoretically (Dervin, 1997; Johnson, 2003; Lueg, 2002). The purpose of this review is to contribute to research on information seeking in context by examining and comparing existing models of context in this field and analyzing how context has been conceptualized in current INSU empirical research. This chapter expands and further develops previous ARIST reviews of INSU literature: in particular, chapters by Allen (19691, Dervin and Nilan (1986), Hewins (19901, Pettigrew et al.
