Evolution of Research Method Utilization in the Academic Careers of Some Representative Scholars in LIS(1990-2023)

Note: This interactive graph collects research method usage data of a group of scholars that meet the following three conditions:

• The academic age of the scholars is greater than 14;
• They publish papers every five years;
• The earliest publication time is between 1970 and 1979.

This graph can dynamically display the changes in the research methods used by scholars as their academic age increases during the publication period from 1990 to 2023.

There is a Pause button at the bottom of the interactive graph, which can pause at any specific year to view the evolution of research methods used in the academic careers of scholars in the LIS field at any time.
