“…According to several recent studies (Klem, Saleh, Devine, Gutzman, Knehans, Mills, … Vardell, 2019;Luo & Mckinney, 2015;Tuomaala, Järvelin, & Vakkari, 2014;Ullah & Ameen, 2018), survey methodology has been the prevailing research method in multiple areas of library and information science (LIS) literature for more than 50 years. For instance, in a study on the evolution of LIS, in which the contents of 42 LIS journals were analysed, Tuomaala, Järvelin, and Vakkari (2014) found that, in the topic areas of "information-seeking" and "library and information-service activities", surveys were the most popular research strategy in 1965, 1985, and 2005 (1455).…”
