Introduction 

Information Science is a multidisciplinary field that explores the generation, collection, organization, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of information [1]. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including information technology, data analytics, knowledge management, library science, and more [2, 3]. Information Science plays a crucial role in today's digital age, where the volume and complexity of data continue to grow exponentially, driving the need for effective information management and utilization [3].

 

Origin and Meaning of "InfoScience"

The term "InfoScience" is a fusion of "information" and "science," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the field. The word was born out of the recognition that information is a valuable resource that can be studied, analyzed, and leveraged to gain insights, make informed decisions, and drive innovation [4]. InfoScience emphasizes the scientific approach to understanding and harnessing information in all its forms, from data and knowledge to communication and technology [4, 5].

 

Defining InfoScience Trends

InfoScience Trends refers to the emerging patterns, innovations, and developments shaping the landscape of Information Science. These trends encompass the evolving practices, technologies, methodologies, and challenges that influence how information is created, managed, shared, and utilized in today's interconnected world. By staying abreast of InfoScience Trends, researchers, practitioners, and organizations can anticipate changes, adapt to new realities, and harness the power of information to drive progress and innovation in the field.
