Mapping recent information behavior research: an analysis of co-authorship and cocitation networks

There has been an increase in research published on information behavior in recent years, and this has been accompanied by an increase in its diversity and interaction with other fields, particularly information retrieval (HR). The aims of this study are to determine which researchers have contributed to producing the current body of knowledge on this subject, and to describe its intellectual basis. A bibliometric and network analysis was applied to authorship and co-authorship as well as citation and co-citation. According to these analyses, there is a small number of authors who can be considered to be the most productive and who publish regularly, and a large number of transient ones. Other findings reveal a marked predominance of theoretical works, some examples of qualitative methodology that originate in other areas of social science, and a high incidence of research focused on the user interaction with information retrieval systems and the information behavior of doctors

Quality evaluation of online library catalogues, advanced discovery tools and linked data technologies

The chapter examines the reliability and quality of traditional online public catalogues made available by libraries. It discusses the potential and limitations of online catalogues as a source of data and information about authors and monographs for research assessment. The second part addresses the emerging sector of discovery tools, which are often offered alongside digital catalogues, or as separate software tools for bibliographic search and reference work. It examines the structure, commercial interests, algorithms and delivery formats of data. Finally, the chapter discusses the changes associated with the emergent linked data technology for displaying catalogue data on the Web. The advantages offered by LOD technologies, for instance the identification of authors and interoperability with other data of different provenances, are addressed
