Subject domain expertise of ISIC2018 reviewer community: a scoping review In Proceedings of ISIC, the Information Behaviour Conference, Krakow, Poland, 9-11 October: Part 1.

METHOD :The paper is based on a scoping review of selected key publications of reviewers indexed in three proprietary databases covering library and information science and interdisciplinary research. References were exported to EndNote databases; one per reviewer. ANALYSIS : A thematic analysis of more than four thousand references (duplicates removed) identified the key focus areas of information behaviour. Titles and abstracts of mostly journal articles were analysed. Publications in non-English languages are included based on English titles and abstracts. FINDINGS : Reviewers published on eleven major information behaviour themes and subthemes, and a variety of topics other than information behaviour that can strengthen collaboration and the scope of information behaviour research. CONCLUSION : The ISIC2018 international programme committee is well qualified to review papers within the scope of information behaviour, (i.e., the variety of target groups, contexts, demographic factors, and information activities).
