“…For example, magazines such as Brain and Behavior include research in various neuroscience and behavior fields and provide researchers with a platform to share their discoveries. Oliphant (2017) reinforces the significance of data studies, demanding persistent data practices' critique within the LIS community [12].…”

“…Researchers must dare different issues which involve subjectivity, bias, interpretation but most importantly the mess and ambiguity of qualitative data [11]. In conjunction, the quest for authenticity and reliability in qualitative research calls for not only the comprehensive revelation of research techniques but also the presence of reflexivity as well as triangulation of data [12]. Implementation of the equal need for persuasion and description with the limited resources as time and budget because the research is a long process.…”

This research concerned information behaviors in library and information science (LIS) by using the mixed-methods research approach so that exploring the full scope of information behaviour in relation to library services and resources is obtained. The main goal for this is to grasp detailed aspects of information seeking methods, factors that influence them and the information behaviour performance among different age cohorts. The data collection procedure took advantage of in-depth qualitative thematic analysis, quantitative observation, and surveys. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews, focus groups, systematic observations, and surveys administered to library patrons. Thematic analysis revealed four prominent themes: Information Literacy component, Digital Inclusion, Community participation, and User Experience, it is very informative on information interactions among library settings. Observation data proved that some common behavior was there, and Consulting Reference Materials was the preferred one among the others. Survey answers suggested factors of importance for information acceptance, including Accessibility and Facets of Credibility. Utilities of the resource currently consumed also compliments the fact that the digital resources go beyond print material. Information behavior pattern tendency analysis among different age groups resulted in various levels of attention, with the biggest level of information seeking and sharing activities observed among young adults.

Composite indices have become a popular tool for providing a quantitative, simplified, and visualized representation of complex phenomena. An example of such is the Human Development Index (HDI) which ranks countries by their level of development. The primary limitation of the HDI is its narrow scope, which hinders its effectiveness at explaining why some nations are more developed than others. The discussion as to why some nations are more developed than others goes back as far as the 14th century, where Ibn Khaldun developed a theory which aims to explain why civilizations rise and fall. Some of the hypotheses which seek to answer this question point to the importance of economic freedoms, absence of corruption, high investment in human capital, and the importance of institutions etc. to development. One hypothesis which has not been properly studied regards the culpability of individual and institutional behavior. The purpose of this study is to introduce a composite measure of the development hindering behavior of individuals and institutions, i.e., the Bad Behavior Index (BBI). The methodology of this study is influenced by the Mazziotta & Pareto framework for composite indices. The index weights have been computed by integrating expert opinion with the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). The findings of this study suggest that African countries engage in the highest level of bad behavior, which subsequently leads to their poor socio-economic development, whereas Northern countries engage in the least level of bad behavior. The study also finds that the most important drivers for socio-economic development are low levels of corruption, high levels of knowledge creation, strict application of the rule of law, high levels of social cohesion, and high levels of political stability.
