ARIST 41
Annual Review of Information Science and
Technology
Edited by Blaise Cronin
ARIST, published annually since 1966, is
a landmark publication within the information
science community. It surveys the
landscape of information science and
technology, providing an analytical, authoritative,
and accessible overview of recent
trends and significant developments. The
range of topics varies considerably, reflecting
the dynamism of the discipline and the
diversity of theoretical and applied perspectives.
While ARIST continues to cover key
topics associated with “classical” information
science (e.g., bibliometrics, information
retrieval), editor Blaise Cronin is selectively expanding its footprint in
an effort to connect information science more tightly with cognate
academic and professional communities.
