نگاشت نقشه علمي نظريه‌هاي رفتار اطلاعاتي انسان

Mapping the domain of human information behaviour theories

هدف اين پژوهش شناخت بهتر حوزه نظريه‌هاي رفتار اطلاعاتي و ترسيم نقشه علمي اين حوزه بود. به همين منظور اطلاعات كتابشناختي ?? نظريه رفتار اطلاعاتي به همراه اطلاعات مآخذ آنها از پايگاه وب آو‌ساينس گرفته شد و مورد تحليل استنادي، زوج كتابشناختي، و تحليل موضوعي مآخذ قرار گرفت و روابط استنادي اين آثار و مآخذ آنها با نرم‌افزارهاي HistCite، Pajek، VOSViewer و Sci2 Tool مورد پردازش و ترسيم قرار گرفت. بررسي نشان داد كه بيشترين نظريه‌ها را دانشمندان آمريكايي و متخصصان علوم اطلاعات مطرح كرده‌اند. با اين حال متخصصان رشته‌هاي ديگري مثل روانشناسي و علوم اجتماعي نيز در طرح نظريه‌ها نقش داشته‌اند. همچنين يافته‌ها نشان داد كه نظريه‌هاي رفتار اطلاعاتي تا حد زيادي وام‌دار آثار حوزه كتابداري و اطلاع‌رساني هستند، امّا از آثار حوزه‌هاي ديگري مثل جامعه‌شناسي، ارتباطات، روانشناسي، مديريت، علوم تربيتي وعلوم رايانه نيز استفاده كرده‌اند. هم از نظر زوج كتابشناختي و هم از نظر استناد، حدود چهار پنجم اين مجموعه از نظريه‌ها داراي پيوند با يكديگر بوده و يك شبكه نسبتاً منسجم را تشكيل مي‌دهند.

The aim of this research was to obtain a better understanding of the domain of human information behaviour and map the domain. For this, 51 theories were selected and their bibliographic information was obtained from Web of Science and then citation analysis and bibliographic coupling analysis were performed. Pajek, HistCite, Sci2 Tool and VOSViewer software were used for analysis and visualization. The results showed that most of the theories were proposed by Americans and by information scientists. A few of the theories were proposed by scientists from the fields of sociology, psychology, computer scientists and a few other disciplines. Citation analysis showed that the theories mainly cited library and information science sources, however, there were also citations to the sources of another 29 other fields especially to sociology, communication, psychology, management, educational sciences and computer science. Bibliographic coupling map showed that about four fifths of the theories were linked to each other as a whole network. Some works were more strongly coupled including Ellis and Bates, Ingwersen and Hj?rland, Ingwersen and Sandstrom, and Hj?rland and Kuhlthau. Historiography of the works showed that works by Chatman, Taylor and Kuhlthau has played an important role in linking older theories to more recent works. Within the 51 theories works by Taylor, Ellis, Bates and Kuhlthau received more citations than the others.
