“…It affirmed that a higher number of documents (294 in numbers) were published in 2015 compared with other years (see Table 2). The study findings were also supported by the findings of Karisiddappa et al [41] and Morrisey [62].…”

“…The trend of research-on-research support services in developed countries has significance due to the use of modern technology that transformed academic libraries. Thus, a considerable scientific study has raised concerns on research support services that further enhanced the capacity of the academic libraries [40–42]. Most of these studies revealed that academic libraries are providing and facilitating research support services to research scholars and academics [7,25,34,35].…”

“…As far as the bibliometric analysis technique is concerned, it has been extensively used by researchers to analyse scientific productivity in the field of library science and other linked disciplines [9,31,33,[43][44][45][46]. Through this method, researchers focused to analyse published documents, including books, letters, proceeding papers, book reviews, articles, abstracts and editorial materials used in scientific publications [41,[47][48][49]. Similar studies are conducted across the globe by analysing the frequency, quality and emergence of already existing research documents.…”

This article attempted to examine research support services, information services, print collections, digital resources and information literacy using bibliometric analysis from 2001 to 2020. The main aim was to consolidate the published studies on the research support services in academic libraries in the Web of Science (WoS) indexed documents. However, there has been a lack of quantitative measurements on the subject. Thus, we used the bibliometric method and found a total of 4079 published documents. The study findings revealed that the topic of ‘information literacy and library’ was on top with a total number of 2168 publications, 3047 articles as a type of published documents, 3662 publications in English and a considerable increase in publications as per years were found. The top author named Fourie I was found with 106 citations and 22 articles started in 2001. Similarly, the University of Illinois found on top organisations out of 2609, United States on top out of 113 countries and information literacy as a keyword out of 6179. Furthermore, the Journal of Academic Librarianship placed at top of sources out of 726 and the National Institutes of Health NIH USA as a top funding agency.

“…After 2000, new concepts of literacies appeared, such as digital literacy, media literacy, business information literacy, health literacy, meta-literacy, content literacy, workplace information literacy, scientific literacy, and science literacy (Onyancha, 2020). Even though many authors (Pinto et al, 2020;Karisiddappa et al, 2020;Goyal & Kumar, 2020;Pinto et al, 2012;Stopar & Ba, 2018) have already conducted studies to understand IL research trends in various aspects by employing bibliometric methods. In this study, an attempt to analyse published works on information literacy for more than 30 years from 1989 to 2020 to understand IL's research trends.…”

Information Literacy is one of the focus areas of research conducted by researchers from different cross-sections of disciplines. The present bibliometric study conducted based on scholarly communications on the subject within 31 years during 1989-2020 has revealed many clues. For the study, from the Web of Science database, bibliometrix R-package Biblioshiny and VOSviewer could generate 1764 documents from different 357 sources having a total of 35558 references. The study's findings indicate that 2016 is the most contributing year for Information Literacy related publications. The USA tops in the aspects of most productive country and most cited country of the publication. At the same time, M. Pinto is found to contribute a maximum of 37 publications. Of the top 20 scholarly journals, 'Journal of Academic Librarianship' is the highest in communicating such articles with 166 numbers.

“…Many scientometric investigations in the information literacy field fall under research evaluation and science indicator studies. Using scientometric indicators, studies have explored types of documents that are published in IL (Golwal, 2018), productivity, growth, and impact at different levels of scope such as at a global level (Bhardwaj, 2017;Karisiddappa et al, 2020;Kolle, 2017;Majid et al, 2017;Pinto et al, 2013;Pinto & Fernández-Pascual, 2017;Taskin et al, 2013;Zimmerman & Ni, 2021), country level (Golwal, 2018;Karisiddappa et al, 2020; Uribe-Tirado & Alhuay-Quispe, 2017; Verma & Shukla, 2019), university level (Karisiddappa et al, 2020), journal level (Panda, Maharana & Cahhatar, 2013;Tallolli & Mulla, 2016), and author level (Karisiddappa et al, 2020).…”

Tracing paradigm shifts in information literacy: a progressive knowledge domain visualization approach

An information literate population is a fundamental component of modern society, but the definition of what it means to be information literate has changed over time, resulting in debates within the information literacy community. Through the lens of Thomas Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions and Shneider's four stages of a discipline framework, this dissertation examines the progress of the information literacy research domain using both scientometric and content analysis methods. Three research questions are addressed in this study. First, the structural and temporal features of the information literacy knowledge domain are identified using document co-citation analysis to identify major research areas, landmark and hub documents, and active research topics. Second, pivotal papers connecting major research areas are explored using pathfinder network scaling algorithms to identify critical paths of transition in the domain. Finally, full-text pivotal documents are examined using qualitative content analysis to trace the progression of information literacy construct definitions in seminal research documents. Findings support a paradigm shift occurred in the domain when the skills-based information literacy definition was rejected in favor of a metaliteracy model. Technological advancement emerged as an influencing factor on paradigms, playing a major role in the domain's evolution over the past half-century. Information literacy research and instruction is built upon the framework used to define what it means to be information literate. Therefore, this study has practical implications for information literacy researchers, librarians, and students.
