Subject domain expertise of ISIC2018 reviewer community: a scoping review
Ina Fourie, Tumelo Maungwa and Theresa Dirndorfer Anderson
Introduction. The paper reports on the subject domain expertise of the ISIC2018 international programme committee (i.e., reviewers) to assess how the reviewer expertise reflects information behaviour research, related fields, trends in the information behaviour research landscape, and opportunities for collaboration.
Method. The paper is basesd on a scoping review of selected key publications of reviewers indexed in three proprietary databases covering library and information science and interdisciplinary research. References were exported to EndNote databases; one per reviewer.
Analysis. A thematic analysis of more than four thousand references (duplicates removed) identified the key focus areas of information behaviour. Titles and abstracts of mostly journal articles were analysed. Publications in non-English languages are included based on English titles and abstracts.
Findings. Reviewers published on eleven major information behaviour themes and sub-themes, and a variety of topics other than information behaviour that can strengthen collaboration and the scope of information behaviour research.
Conclusion. The ISIC2018 international programme committee is well qualified to review papers within the scope of information behaviour, (i.e., the variety of target groups, contexts, demographic factors, and information activities). Representation of countries not typically attending ISIC conferences and benefiting from auxiliary research expertise must needs further investigation.
Introduction
Responsible and authoritative peer reviewing are essential requirements for intellectual growth and expansion in any scholarly community (Weller, 2002). Review processes are, however, also often met with scepticism, and concern about gatekeeper effects (Gould, 2013; Moran, 1998), inclusion and exclusion, but also with acknowledgement of its strengths and benefits (Schwartz et al., 2010).
Reviewers’ subject expertise and qualities such as willingness to share knowledge and develop a scholarly community are important when planning a programme committee. Timeliness in returning reviews, constructive feedback, acceptance of different schools of thought and methodologies, experience in research supervision and examination and editorial experience enhance the reputations of reviewers. Subject domain and multidisciplinary expertise are very important. Morris and Van der Veer Martens (2008, p. 213) explain: 'Specialities are important in science because of their crucial role in the creation and validation of scientific knowledge’. We can map expertise in various ways (Ingwersen, Larsen and Noyons, 2001).
The ISIC2018 international programme committee had 69 reviewers. Their names appear on the ISIC2018 website (http://www.isic2018.com/programme/isic-2018-programme.html). More people were invited but some declined due to retirement, not being active in the field any more or due to other commitments. A few, did not respond. We analysed the research publications (mostly articles with a few books) of the reviewers indexed by four key proprietary databases). Reviewers were from a diversity of continents and countries, including Australia, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, and United States. Apart from English, some also publish in Finnish, French, Japanese, Polish, and Spanish. The paper is a first step in exploring reviewer expertise as a means to enrich the research community. Since the paper only considered output indexed by proprietary databases, findings do not represent the full spectrum of expertise such as supervisory and examination expertise, conference presentations, workshops, unpublished keynote addresses, and self-projecting as on websites, blogs and curriculum vitae’s. This belongs in a follow-up project.
This paper briefly explains the purpose of the project, role of the authors in terms of conceptualising the paper, literature searches and selection of references, the thematic analysis and expertise mapping, suggestions for further work and conclusion.
Purpose of paper – knowledge map as boundary object
The ISIC scholarly community of information behaviour and practice face many exciting developments and challenges: growing trends for interdisciplinary research (Case and Given, 2016) and pressure for research with value and impact for society. Reviewers serve as gatekeepers of the dissemination of ideas through publications, conferences and other scholarly venues. There is often the irony of differences of opinion on relevance for the research community and the challenge of evaluating established ideas versus new ones. The idea for the project was conceptualised by Theresa Anderson (third author), and it began with two simple questions:
- Who are our ISIC gatekeepers?
- How do we design a review process that maintains quality standards but remains open minded to new ideas?
To answer these questions we sought to build an expertrise or knowledge map, initially based on the research output indexed in four proprietary databases. We intended to built a set of working matrixes of reviewer expertise as first round in an action research project on an ISIC reviewer knowledge map as boundary object (Huvila, Anderson, Jansen, McKenzie and Worrall, 2017).
Literature searches, selection, and analysis
Three key databases in library and information science, Library and Information Science Abstracts, Library and Information Source Index and Library and Information Science Technology Abstracts, as well as the interdisciplinary database, Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge, were searched for different variations of reviewer names (e.g. Theresa Anderson, and Theresa Dirndorfer Anderson or for variations in initials). The first and second authors, Ina Fourie and Tumelo Maugnwa, did the literature searching, selection, thematic analysis and mapping of expertise. We exported references to EndNote databases for each reviewer and removed duplicates, book reviews and incomplete references. We included references from sources in languages other than English; the titles and abstracts were in English and acknowledgement of expertise in languages such as Spanish, Polish and Japanese can strengthen the contribution of this paper. References were mostly for articles, with limited coverage of conference papers, chapters in books and books. In total, we worked through the titles and abstracts of more than four thousand references and therefore had to be selective.Some reviewers have extensive lists of publications and research collaborations, while others had much less.Although readers might not agree with all our choices, we tried to reflect core issues related to information behaviour with care. Although not a full review, we consider our knowledge mapping sufficient for a scoping exercise.
Mapping of topical expertise
Some reviewers have extensive experience in the field of information behaviour through their work as reviewers, journal editors, supervisors, examiners, and their own research. Names that stand out include Reijo Savolainen, Tom Wilson, Elena Macevičiūtė, Charles Cole and Andrew Cox. Some are widely acknowledged for conceptual and theoretical contributions, notably Reijo Savolainen (2016d, 2017a,b,c) and Peter Ingwersen (Ingwersen and Järvelin, 2005). Others for how their work relates to other fields that benefit from the understanding of information behaviour. Such fields include information literacy (Aharony and Bronstein, 2014b; Aharony et al., 2017; Julien, 2000; Limberg, 2009; Lloyd, 2010b), information retrieval and specifically interactive information retrieval (Ingwersen, 1992; Xie, 2007), and the learning sciences (Hansen and Rieh, 2016). Reviewers who developed widely cited models include David Ellis (1989b), Carol Kuhlthau (1988), Reijo Savolainen (2008b) and Tom Wilson (1999 a, b). Some reviewers have developed a reputation for their application of theories, such as David Allen for activity theory (2011) and Annemaree Lloyd (2010 a,c) and Sanna Talja (Talja, Keso and Pietiläinen, 1999) for practice theory and other theoretical issues. Christine Stilwell (2010) reviewed information behaviour research in the South African context, Charles Cole wrote on information behaviour in general (Spink and Cole, 2006), Theresa Anderson on information seeking research per se (Anderson and Orsatti, 2008) and Hester Meyer (2016) developed a model of building blocks of information behaviour to support novice researchers. Heidi Julien co- authored a review chapter for Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (Fisher and Julien, 2009). She and her co-workers have also reported on trends in information behaviour research (Julien and O'Brien, 2014; Julien, Pecoskie and Reed, 2011).
Expertise can be categorised in many ways and often scholars work in different fields of specialisation at the same time. Sanda Erdelez, an expert on information encountering and serendipity, has also done research related to Alzheimer’s disease (Erdelez, Howarth and Gibson, 2015), and Preben Hansen on collaborative information seeking (Hansen and Widén, 2017; Hansen, Shah and Klas, 2015). Lisa Given (2008a, b; 2015), an expert in qualitative research methods is also recognised for her work on photovoice and affordance theory (Julien, Given and Opryshko, 2013).
This paper discusses ISIC2018 reviewers’ topical expertise under eleven subheadings derived from models of information behaviour (Case and Given, 2016; Ford, 2015; Johnson and Case, 2012) namely: context, components and elements of context; actors; information activities and information encounters; information carriers; information fields; antecedents, triggers and barriers; information needs; theories; models; methodologies; and cross-cutting expertise. Each are briefly discussed with examples of reviewer expertise and sub-divisions; the examples are not exhaustive although we tried to do justice to the extensive body of research output. Our focus is on the scope of expertise and not individual achievements, and often we keep to the author’s labelling of their work.
Expertise according to context, components and elements of context
The meaning and importance of context as a key focus in studies of information behaviour have been widely discussed and debated (Kari and Savolainen, 2004a; Lloyd, 2010b; Lloyd and Williamson, 2008; Savolainen, 2009e). Context is situated in a larger environment such as a country, society or organisation. Reviewer expertise reflects conceptual discussions with strong theoretical underpinnings, research in a wide variety of specific contexts, specific situations, situations in progress, and elements of contexts such as time, motivation and space Charles Cole (Cole and Leide, 2003), Makiko Miwa (Miwa and Kando, 2007), Reijo Savolainen (2006b,c); Kari and Savolainen (2007) and Sanna Talja (Talja and Hartel, 2007; Talja and McKenzie, 2007). Table 1 portrays expertise on context.

Conceptualisation and theoretical issues of context | |
A deeper appreciation of context can add value to information behaviour studies in multi-contextual environments (Johnson, 2003). Interpretations and understanding of context influence what is studied. Many discussions and debates have been published (Case and Given, 2016). | Conversation in information-seeking contexts: Paul Solomon (1997a) Discovering information in context: Paul Solomon (2002) Every day-life: Reijo Savolainen (1995, 2004, 2008b) Information context and information search context: Peiling Wang (Tenopir, Wang, Zhang, Simmons and Pollard, 2008) Meaning of context: Reijo Savolainen (2012a) Task related context: Noa Aharony (2006) |
Elements of context | |
These can include time, motivation, spatial and social. | Reijo Savolainen (2006b) |
Situations in progress | |
The phrases person-in-situation and person-in-progressive situation refer to people in situations where information needs change due to the circumstances of the situation e.g. abuse getting worse (Dunne, 2002; Westbrook, 2008). | Abuse and neglected children: Julie Hersberger (Hersberger, Murray and Sokoloff, 2006) Behavioural change in stages: Maija-Leena Huotari (Hirvonen, Pyky, Korpelainen and Huotari, 2015; Hirvonen et al., 2012) Pregnant women: Pamela McKenzie (2004, 2010) |
Actors featuring in information behaviour studies
Actors, also referred to as role players, and target groups are the humans whose information behaviour is studied: they can be defined in terms of their roles such as student, patient, caregiver or a professional role such as lawyer, doctor or engineer (Case and Given, 2016), or in terms of positions of vulnerability. Tom Wilson (2008b) offers a valuable reflection on the past, present and future of the information user. Table 2 portrays reviewer expertise according to actors.

Expertise in specific information activities and information encounters
A wide variety of information activities and encounters have been the focus of information behaviour studies (Case and Given, 2016; Fisher and Julien, 2009; Ford, 2015; Johnson and Case, 2012). In addition there are also researchers who distinguish between information behaviour and information practice (Savolainen, 2007c; Wilson, 1997). (A separate sub- heading addresses information practice.) Although the larger portion of information behaviour studies are on information seeking and information searching using a general or comprehensive interpretation, there are some expertise on finer detail such as the formulation of queries and other activities such as information sharing, information use, information processing, information encountering, information monitoring, and information transfer.
Information seeking and searching activities
Expertise on information seeking and searching range from a holistic view of the spectrum of activities, sometimes referred to as steps, phases or stages for example starting, browsing, changing, monitoring, differentiating, extracting, verifying and ending (Ellis, 1989b) to specific activities such as information monitoring or browsing. Table 3 provides more detail.

Spectrum of information seeking activities / information seeking per se | |
This include researchers taking a general approach to information seeking such as reflected in the models by David Ellis (1989b), Carol Kuhlthau (1991) and Allen Foster (2004) or reporting on a specific group of actors or information seeking in a specific context. | As idea generation: Trinke Schreiber (2017b) Cross language information seeking behaviour: Allen Foster (Al-Wreikat, Rafferty and Foster, 2015) Everyday life: Lisa Given (Given et al., 2016); Reijo Savolainen (1995); Christine Stillwell (Chilimo, Ngulube and Stilwell, 2011) General: Charles Cole (Cole and Spink, 2004, Spink and Cole, 2006); Dennis Ocholla (Ikoja-Odongo and Ocholla, 2003) Information seeking: David Ellis (Ellis, Cox and Hall, 1993) Information process: Charles Cole (1997a,c) Interactive information seeking: Nils Pharo (Isfandyari-Moghaddam and Pharo, 2011); Ian Ruthven (2012) Online information seeking: Eric Meyers (Khan et al., 2015) Query formulation: Judit Bar-Ilan (Bar-Ilan and Barsky, 2005) Search processes: Carol Kuhlthau (1988, 1991, 1997a,b, 2000; Kuhlthau, Heinström and Todd, 2008) Seeking pictures: Anna Lundh (Lundh and Alexandersson, 2012) Spectrum of information seeking activities/phases/stages: David Ellis (1989b); Allen Foster and Christine Urquhart (Foster, Urquhart and Turner, 2008); Carol Kuhlthau (2008) Teenagers/tweens: Eric Meyers (2009a; Meyers, Fisher and Marcoux, 2007) Web information seeking: Ina Fourie (2006); Ian Ruthven (Jose, Ruthven and Tombros, 2005) |

Information carriers and information communication technology (ICT)
Although different terminology is used in the literature, the interpretations by David Johnson and Donald Case (both with a background in communication) (2012) will be used to categorise expertise. Carriers are the 'primary repositories of information available to individuals within their information fields’ (Johnson and Case, 2012, p. 31). There are three classes of information carriers, namely channels, sources and messages. Messages are the essential building blocks – the words, codes, symbols, pictures. Sources relate to an individual or institution originating messages (Johnson and Case, 2012, p. 33) and include books and articles. Sources are available in print and digital forma; they are availabe through different devices such as mobile technology and through different channels where channels are the information transmission systems. Channels include mass and social media, social networks, and interpersonal communication. ISIC2018 reviewers have published on the preferences, use, selection and evaluation of a variety of information carriers. Table 13 portrays expertise on information carriers, using information channels, information sources and messages as key sub-themes. ICTs are included in this section. (Table 5 covers use and non-use of information sources.)

Information fields
According to Johnson and Case (2012, p. 28) an individual’s information field provides the context for information seeking. It includes the carriers, information channels and information sources to which people are exposed and relates to concepts such as information pathways, information horizons and information infrastructures. It also relates to disciplines and the broad categories of science (natural, social and humanities) and sub-categories such as medicine, economics, engineering, and further specialisation such as nursing. Early day user studies found differences between preferences and information seeking according to the broad science. Table 14 presents three broad categories of science to group expertise on specific disciplines, as well as health science due to the large group in this field. Sanna Talja and Reijo Savolianen report on field differences in general (Talja, Savolainen and Maula, 2004).

Antecedents and barriers
Johnson and Case (2012, p. 46) use the term antecedents to refer to factors influencing information behaviour and imperatives to motivate information seeking, while others such as Wilson (1999a,b) refer to intervening variables. Savolainen (2006b) refers to qualifiers of information seeking and Meyer (2016) to personal components of information behaviour. There are also activating mechanisms and triggers of information seeking, and barriers. Some researchers refer only to demographic factors. This section covers expertise where specific antecedents such as age or gender, as well as triggers of information seeking or barriers are the focus. Table 15 shows expertise on antecedents and barriers.

Information needs
Information needs have been approached from various points of view in the information behaviour literature starting with the widely cited work of Dervin and Nilan (1986), Taylor (1968) on question negotiation, Belkin, Oddy and Brooks (1982) on anamolous state of knowledge, and Shenton (2007) for suggestions on the use of the Jahori Window (developed from psychology). Reviewers who has taken a more holistic approach are Tom Wilson (1999a,b) noting dormant information needs and that information needs are often primary and not secondary needs, and Charles Cole who published a book on information needs (2012). Table 16 reflects the reviewer expertise.

Expertise in theories supporting studies of information behaviour and related information interactions and practices
All ISIC2018 reviewers are aware of key theories, some with more knowledge and experience than others are. Theories noted in their research output include theory of interaction and Goffman’s theory (Ikeya, 1991), Reijo Savolainen and Sanna Talja on constructivism, collectivism and constructionism (Tuominen, Talja and Savolainen, 2003; Talja, Tuominen and Savolainen, 2005) and numerous others reported in Theories of information behaviour (Fisher, Erdelez and McKechnie, 2007; McKechnie and Pettigrew, 2002; Pettigrew and McKechnie, 2001). Table 17 notes only researchers where theories pertinently featured in titles of articles.

Expertise in models supporting studies of information behaviour
There is a wide variety of models. Some are theoretical models and others developed from empirical work. Some are general models of information behaviour, and others focus more on specific information activities such as information seeking (Kuhlthau, 1991 or information and interactive information retrieval such as Peter Ingwersen (Ingwersen and Jårvelin, 2005) and Iris Xie (2006). Apart from models developed by reviewers (see Table 18), there are reviewers who reviewed information behaviour models in a more holistic manner, such as Hester Meyer on building blocks of information behaviour (2016). Allen Foster and co- workers (Foster et al., 2008) consider models in general. Savolainen (2017a) reports a theoretical reflection on revisiting the Ellis model, on the Kuhlthau and Nahl models (Savolainen 2015d) and in genereal on conceptual growth in models (Savolainen, 2016c), while Carol Kuhlthau and co-workers revisited the value of her information search process model (Kuhlthau et al., 2008).

Research methodologies
Research methodology is key to any research. Reports are mostly on quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods studies, surveys, case studies, questionnaires, interviews and focus group interviews. Table 19 only notes expertise in research methodology if explicitly stated in the titles of papers. (It would be a too extensive task to categorise all reviewer methodological expertise.) Peilang Wang (2001) gives a good general overview of methodologies and methods in information behaviour research.

Discussion
The analysis shows expertise in a variety of ISIC related matters. A finer granular analysis would reveal even more on the expertise especially if we triangulated findings form other resources as suggested in the conclusion and steps forward. Apart from showing expertise on eleven major themes selected from models of information behaviour and seeking, pointing to key authors, as well as sub-themes, Tables 1-20 reflect areas where the ISIC2018 international programme committee is not actively involved e.g. studies on religion and information behaviour and in formation transfer.
Conclusion
With this first step of our knowledge mapping, we intended to collate the evidence of expertise as reflected in the literature, specifically articles in peer-reviewed journals. Subsequent steps will involve building a map of reviewer expertise after this initial literature search and content analysis by:
- exploring publically available listings of publications, presentations, talks and grey literature via curriculum vitae’s, websites, and blogs
- drawing on self-defined areas of expertise (topics) as presented by our reviewers in response to a questionnaire survey
- using co-constructing and ranking of expertise via Google forms.
As for designing a review process that maintains quality, the ISIC2018 international programme certainly covers a spectrum of expertise. As for ability to remain open minded to new ideas, we will only be able to answer this question after completion of 2018 reviews, and insight into the list of topics submitted and feedback from authors.
