Information Behavior Of Scientists

Information Behavior of Scientists is a scholarly construct within information literacy in science that characterizes the distinct ways in which scientists seek, assess, manage, and utilize scientific information throughout the research lifecycle, differentiating it from general information behavior models by its focus on domain-specific practices, disciplinary cultures, and epistemic contexts in scientific work.
