Abstract

AbstractAnalyzing content from articles published in major LIS journals during the years 2006, 2012, and 2018, this study examines the use of data mining strategies in LIS research. A total of 301 articles were identified that utilized data mining strategies across the 3 years studied, with the JASIST having the most such articles with 42, with Information Processing and Management following close behind with 32. A cluster analysis performed based on word frequency in these articles abstracts identified three unique clusters associated with the topics of Publications/Citations, Consumer Behavior, and Information/Media Use. A cluster analysis of the proportion of articles indicates a shift away from Publications/Citations towards more Consumer Behavior‐based data mining studies.
