Information Research (IR)

Information Research is a freely available, international, scholarly journal, dedicated to making accessible the results of research across a wide range of information-related disciplines. It was established in 1995 by Professor T.D. Wilson, Professor Emeritus of the University of Sheffield and subsequently Senior Professor, University of Borås. It is now published by the Swedish School of Library and Information Science, University of Borås, Sweden, and hosted by the National Library of Sweden. Information Research is now in its thirtieth year of existence, and many things have changed over the past 30 years: the journal was founded in 1995, when the Internet and the World Wide Web were in their infancy, and the idea was to create a journal that covered the information disciplines in general. At the time, that meant information science, librarianship, information systems, archives and records management, and information management. Consequently, we have revised the scope of the journal to include the areas listed below. We are interested in papers within information-related disciplines that are oriented towards the human information seeker and user. We accept submissions within the following disciplines and sub-disciplines: Business intelligence and data analytics; competitive intelligence; information security, cybersecurity, information economics, special libraries and information services. Communication and media: scholarly communication; academic libraries; digital publishing; bibliometrics; webometrics; infometrics. Cultural heritage: digital humanities, archives, records management, digital curation. Data science: data mining; data sharing; big data; data visualisation. Disciplinary applications: bioinformatics, chemoinformatics, health informatics; information in education. Human-computer interaction; computer-mediated communication; computer-supported cooperative work; mobile computing.
