“…Sandusky and Tenopir [27] found that, for this type of user, the identification of relevant items in a short time reflects on certain types of behavior as, for instance, the time allocated for reading articles. These results are corroborated by the studies of Berghel et al [4], Shotton [29], Tenopir et al [31,32].…”

This article presents a literature review whose aim was to identify the reported information needs of researchers when they consult bibliographic databases. Initially, 192 articles were retrieved using Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases. After applying the criteria for exclusion, the number of articles was reduced to 16, which is already an indicator of the small number of studies on this specific topic. The results show that it is hard to identify the information needs of researchers. They also show that the researchers have been requiring information with a higher degree of granularity. We conclude that although the available studies provide important information about the researchers' information needs and hints on how to address them, there is a need for more in-depth studies. The results of these deeper studies may be useful to serve as an indication for the creation of new procedures and tools, including those based on new metadata elements drawn to improve search results on Linked Open Data tools.

“…A third general category is systems for customising retrieved information after it arrives. This may operate as a stand-alone facility, or may pick up where filtering systems leave off; see, for example, Berghel et al 42 . Current examples of the customising approach are the refine/categorise features offered by Internet search engines such as AltaVista and Northern Light, which group retrieved sites into subject groupings by statistical analysis of terms; these should reduce the effort of examining large numbers of seemingly relevant web pages.…”

This study investigates Ted Nelson's works and the influence of his hypertext concept through citation analysis, including citation counting, characteristics of citing articles on language, document type, citing year, discipline, and citation content. The selection of the Nelson's works was based on searching Library Literature & Information Science, Library and Information Science Abstracts, Google and Yahoo search engines. The citation data were compiled from the database of Web of Science. The results of the study reveal that hypertext has directly great impact on information retrieval and world wide web; therefore, the concept has had profound influence on information, library and computer science disciplines. Moreover, the influence of Nelson's works spreads to other disciplines variously, especially on education, literature, business and economics, engineering, sociology, psychology, etc. The citation context analysis of citing articles on information and library science reveals that (1) definition, orientation and general introduction of hypertext; (2) relation of Vannevar Bush and Ted Nelson in terms of hypertext; (3) Nelson's Xanadu system and its component of hypertext; (4) the application of hypertext in information science and library science are four most citing purpose.
