“…For instance, when students seek help, they often require specific information to understand better and find appropriate solutions to address their needs more effectively. Chlomoudis et al [27] observed that students seek information to fulfill their information requirements, which, in turn, enhances their academic or professional performance. Information need is an individual's recognition that their knowledge is inadequate to attain an objective, while information behaviors encompass all forms of intentional and unintentional information-seeking patterns [57,58].…”

“…Their findings emphasized the hands-on support and troubleshooting students receive from postdocs, which significantly impact students' mental health. Chlomoudis et al [27] observed that students seek information to improve their academic or professional performance. In consonance with other information and communication technologies, the internet has accelerated this process.…”

Does Mentoring Directly Improve Students’ Research Skills? Examining the Role of Information Literacy and Competency Development

This work proposes a structural model highlighting the research skills of undergraduate students. Due to the stages in their research project implementation, mentoring students becomes a crucial initiative in higher education institutions. Despite substantial progress in the literature linking mentoring and skills development, there is a lack of greater emphasis on research skills, especially for undergraduate students facing research work for the first time. Consequently, the direct relation between mentoring and research skills may not be straightforward. Thus, driven by social learning theory, the proposed model highlights the mediating effects of information literacy constructs and competency development on the relationship between mentoring and research skills. An empirical study of 539 participants via Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling supports six of the seven hypothesized paths. Three major theoretical contributions arise from the findings. Firstly, mentoring improves information-seeking skills and information-sharing behaviors and facilitates students’ competency development due to the technical knowledge transfer from the faculty mentor to student mentees. Secondly, information literacy constructs and competency development promote research skills, emphasizing that students with those behaviors and capacities will achieve enhanced research skills. Finally, our findings suggest that mentoring does not directly translate to improved research skills; instead, information-seeking and sharing behaviors and competency development fully mediate such a link. Thus, mentors must shape these behaviors for mentoring to develop students’ research skills. Theoretical and practical insights are outlined from these findings for university leadership to inform the design of mentoring initiatives for undergraduate students.

“…The Prisma protocol is a method developed within the medicine domain now used by other fields. Within the sphere of information and knowledge management, the PRISMA protocol is seen as a system that functions as an instrument that helps in decision making (Chlomoudis, Konstantinou, Kostagiolas & Pallis, 2022). According to (Ashiq, Usmani & Naeem, 2020) further emphasis on the fact that the procedure assists writers with reporting systematic literature review and meta-analysis.…”

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has changed the world in a catastrophic way. The impact of COVID-19 brought in regulative measures such lockdown and human movement restrictive regulations; safety precautions needed to be put in place to help people stay safe from the virus infection. Some of the regulation included limiting traveling and implementing lockdown. The business sector was heavily affected and needed a solution immediately. The supply chain needed to continue to function hence the application of e-commerce was the most lucrative opportunity. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of COVID-19 on e-commerce, both the negative and positive impacts were considered for this study. The suitable and utilised research approach for this study was the systematic review known as the PRISMA Protocol (PRISMA-P). Qualitative research method was chosen for this research paper, using search strings on the Emerald database to collect data. 50 Journal articles from the Emerald Insight database search were identified, these articles were further screened by analysing the title and abstract of the articles to assess their eligibility to be included in the study final analysis. After the eligibility criteria and exclusion process, 4 article were fully assessed and included in the study. This process of exclusion was done through the Mendeley website and the captured in the PRISMA flow diagram. The research findings indicate a correlation between the proliferation of the COVID-19 pandemic and the profitability of businesses conducting online transactions. Findings further indicate that COVID-19 improved digitisation, online shopping, and sales. In conclusion, this study has shown ways in which the e-commerce industry benefited from Covid-19, highlighting on the increase in sales and the use of digital platforms. Also, the novel coronavirus led to the increased digitisation of business processes and services.

“…A holistic view of the informationseeking process suggests that problem-based learning integrated with inquiry activities can improve students' information literacy. Past studies indicate that teacher education programs must incorporate a process-oriented approach to information literacy instruction to effectively meet students' information needs [13], [14]. Previous research indicates that teacher education programs should incorporate a process-oriented approach in teaching information literacy to meet the information needs of college students.…”

<span lang="EN-US">This research aimed to determine how the reading, identifying problem, constructing solution, solving problem, reviewing and extending problem solution (RICOSRE) learning model integration with collaborative mind mapping affects students’ information literacy in higher education institutions. This quasi-experimental study used a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. There were 40 multiple-choice questions selected to assess student information literacy. All instruments have been validated and are reliable. The data were collected from 100 participants who were college students enrolled in the environmental pollution course of the biology education degree program at Siliwangi University, Indonesia. To analyze the research data, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used at a 5% level of significance, followed by the least significance difference (LSD) test. The ANCOVA results showed that the RICOSRE-CMM learning model impacted students’ information literacy. LSD scores were significantly different in terms of students’ information literacy. It can be concluded that the RICOSRE-CMM model could enhance each component of information literacy as these components have been integrated into the learning model syntax, which involves a series of information discovery and analysis processes during group work to find a solution to a problem.</span>
