Aims and Scope

Aim

The Journal of Information Science and Knowledge Infrastructure (JISKI) aims to advance scholarly knowledge and scientific research in information science, knowledge organisation, information systems, knowledge infrastructures, and related interdisciplinary fields. The journal provides an international platform for rigorous theoretical, empirical, methodological, and applied research. It publishes studies that improve understanding of information creation and use, information discovery, knowledge representation, data stewardship, scholarly communication, and digital knowledge infrastructure. JISKI encourages research in information retrieval, digital libraries, metadata, information behaviour, research data management, digital preservation, knowledge graphs, information analytics, and responsible information innovation.
