“…The first author interpreted the relationships between the a priori framework and the data to produce the first version of the revised framework of CIS factors and outcomes. The framework was then finalized using an iterative process involving peer checking, discussion with the coauthors, and presentation to other researchers at the ASIS&T 2020 virtual conference (Granikov, El Sherif, et al, 2020).…”

Despite being necessary, keeping up to date with new information and trends remains challenging in many fields due to information overload, time constraints, and insufficient evaluation skills. Collaboration, or sharing the effort among group members, may be a solution, but more knowledge is needed. To guide future research on the potential role of collaboration in keeping up to date, we conducted a systematic literature review with a framework synthesis aimed to adapt the conceptual framework for environmental scanning to a collaborative context.Our specific objectives were to identify the factors and outcomes of collaborative information seeking (CIS) and use them to propose an adapted conceptual framework. Fifty-one empirical studies were included and synthesized using a hybrid thematic synthesis. The adapted framework includes seven types of influencing factors and five types of outcomes. Our review contributes to the theoretical expansion of knowledge on CIS in general and provides a conceptual framework to study collaboration in keeping up to date. Overall, our findings will be useful to researchers, practitioners, team leaders, and system designers implementing and evaluating collaborative information projects.

Mixed studies reviews are literature reviews that use a systematic approach to combine quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies. Mixed studies reviews are guided by the principles of mixed methods, specifically the integration of qualitative and quantitative evidence, with the goal of leveraging their complementarity. This chapter discusses and provides methodological guidance for mixed studies reviews in information science. This contribution is valuable since empirical research in information science typically involves diverse data collection and analysis methods and many research topics can be described as complex phenomena – both cases for which the mixed studies approach is recommended. This chapter provides a detailed description of the steps involved in a mixed studies review (question formulation, eligibility criteria, identification, selection, critical appraisal, data extraction, and synthesis) and illustrates each step with a concrete example from library and information science.
