Machine learning reveals research method shifts in library science over 31 years

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

A study analyzing over 26,000 research articles from 1991 to 2021 in library and information science (LIS) journals utilized machine learning to categorize research methods. The findings indicate a shift from conceptual to empirical research and from system-centered to user-centered topics within LIS. The study also mapped the relationships between 18 research topics and 16 common research methods, visualizing these dynamics over time. AI

IMPACT Provides insights into the evolution of research methodologies and topics within a specific academic field, potentially informing future research directions.
