    Government-led data trading platforms are spearheading the robust development of China's data factor market. This study focuses on five bench mark platforms, employing the classical grounded theory framework to analyze their development patterns and challenges. The findings reveal that their developmental models can be summarized into five key elements: policy guidance, developmental strategies, standardization construction, platform services, and the cultivation of a digital business ecosystem. However, these platforms face several challenges, including a lack of core competitiveness, insufficient interconnectivity, pronounced data silos, and limited transaction scales. To address these challenges, platforms need to expand their market influence through differentiated positioning, joint construction of a standardized interconnected ecosystem, collaborative development of digital business alliances, and active expansion of bilateral user groups. Meanwhile, the National Data Administration should undertake overall planning for platform deplayment, strengthen integrated security supervision, and establish a robust safety framework to ensure the healthy development of the market.

    In the age of digital intelligence, conflicts in data ethics arising from the exploitation and utilization of data have become increasingly pronounced, challenging societal governance structures and value systems. Research on data ethics has thus emerged as a shared concern across multiple disciplines. This paper adopts a systematic review method to analyze relevant literature, synthesizing data ethics theories and summarizing the core issues in data ethics research. Current studies demonstrate a clear trend toward interdisciplinary integration, with data ethics governance practices embedded across diverse digital contexts. Both theoretical and practical dimensions exhibit characteristics of multidisciplinarity and multi-contextuality. However, there remains significant scope to enhance the systematic, comprehensive, collaborative, and normative aspects of data ethics research. Future studies could explore three key directions: effectively linking empirical and normative research on data ethics, advancing interdisciplinary integration in data ethics studies, and transitioning from context-specific applications to holistic research addressing broader data governance ecosystems.

    Deepfake Information in AIGC: Generation Mechanisms and Governance Strategies: An Analytical Framework Based on Actor-Network Theory
    Ran Lian Zhang Wei
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (2): 137-150.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.02.137
    Abstract1018)      PDF(pc) (2326KB)(1499)       Save
    Exploring the complex logical mechanisms behind AIGC-driven deepfake information generation has significant practical value for constructing a cognitive framework for understanding deepfake information and formulating targeted governance strategies in cyberspace. Drawing on the actor-network theory, this study constructs a theoretical framework for analyzing AIGC deepfake information generation, focusing on four aspects: problem presentation, allocation of benefits, mobilization, and exclusion of dissent. It further interprets the dynamic process of deepfake information generation in terms of network formation, alliance-building, and stabilization. The findings indicate that the continuous output of AIGC-generated deepfake information is likely to intensify adverse social effects, such as technological domination, truth decay, and moral dissolution. The production and dissemination of deepfake information involve AIGC technologies translating heterogeneous actors through interest-driven strategies, driving the deepfake interest network from formation to stabilization while engaging in a competitive dynamic with opposing organizations. Based on these findings, this study proposes targeted governance strategies for AIGC deepfake information across four dimensions: moral governance, rule of law, technological governance, and crowd-based governance.

    The negative externalities of digital services on Internet platforms has attracted extensive regulatory attention. The study of the global typical EU digital service regulation policy changes can provide a mirror for China's Internet platform regulation and digital service policy. Based on the policy feedback theory, this paper constructs an analytical framework, standardizes the content and reform practice of the EU digital service regulation policy, and combs the evolution of the EU digital service regulation policy of "lenient responsibility-balanced responsibility-diligence responsibility". In this process, the regulation activities of policy change are influenced by the first order feedforward resource effect and the interpretation effect. The formation of new public policy is shaped by the evolution effect of second-order feedback and the learning effect. Based on this logic, the EU has created a policy reform approach for digital service regulation, which covers three major strategies: policy consolidation, policy learning and policy adaptation. To sum up the experience of EU digital service regulation policy is of great significance for our country to learn from EU approach scientifically and rationally.

    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (2): 151-162,封3.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.02.151
    Abstract359)      PDF(pc) (5238KB)(1231)       Save
    This study aimed to develop a metric for measuring the diffusion speed of scientific knowledge on social media platforms, using Twitter as an example, and to investigate the differences between short-term and long-term diffusion speeds of scientific papers, as well as their influencing factors. Articles published in Volumes 66-68 of CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians were selected as the research sample. The entropy weight method was used to construct a metric for diffusion speed. SPSS was used to analyze the differences between short-term and long-term diffusion speeds, while Eviews was employed to conduct Granger causality analysis to identify the factors influencing these differences. The analysis revealed that the number of keywords and the number of authors significantly influenced the diffusion speed of scientific knowledge on social media. In the short term, the diffusion speed was Granger-caused by the citation count of the first author, whereas in the long term, it was influenced not only by citation counts but also by the first author’s academic impact, as measured by their h-index. These findings suggested that the diffusion speed of scientific knowledge on social media is affected by multiple factors. Specifically, the number of keywords and the number of authors played a significant role in both short-term and long-term diffusion. Moreover, in the short term, the citation count of the first author was a key driver, while in the long term, both citation counts and the first author’s academic impact contribute to sustained dissemination. Therefore, scholars with higher academic influence were more likely to facilitate the long-term diffusion of their scientific papers on social media, primarily through the endorsement of their academic reputation.

    Abstract277)      PDF(pc) (3297KB)(789)       Save
    This study compares the differences between generated AI supported conversational search and traditional web search in user information search behavior and learning outcomes. Combined with the cognitive load theory, this study explores the information acquisition efficiency, learning outcomes and user experience of users using the two systems in various learning search situations, aiming to deeply understand the characteristics of user information search behavior and help improve the information search and learning outcomes. The experimental method was used to collect the index data, the experimental subjects were divided into a conversational search and a traditional web search group, and the user's learning information search behavior was divided into information seek behavior, information selection behavior and information utilization behavior. The learning search outcomes were divided into five dimensions, and a linear regression model was used to compare the differences in information search behavior and learning effect between the two groups of users. Results show that users' use of conversational search system can improve the learning outcome by reducing the cognitive load, and also make part of the user's information search behavior more complex. This study provides theoretical support for revealing the cognitive mechanism behind users' information search behavior and learning outcome differences, broadens the research vision of "search as learning", and provides practical enlightenment for improving the interactive design of the functions of conservational search and traditional web search system and providing learning information service functions.

    Breakthroughs in generative artificial intelligence have led to the emergence of phenomenon-level large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, posing unprecedented challenges to traditional data utility assessment methods. In response, this study focuses on evaluating the utility of instruction-tuning data for LLMs by establishing a multi-dimensional assessment framework that integrates three key dimensions—complexity, usability, and diversity—and accordingly proposes a novel data utility evaluation function. Experiments on multiple publicly available instruction-tuning datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach provides a reasonable and effective means of measuring data quality, while the reasoning loss observed in LLMs fine-tuned on different datasets exhibits a high degree of consistency with the proposed evaluation metrics. This work is the first to directly employ reasoning loss as a measure of the quality of LLM instruction-tuning data, further introducing the three dimensions—complexity, usability, and diversity—to characterize “high-quality data”. By proposing new quantitative metrics, this study offers important theoretical and practical guidance for future improvements in the quality of instruction-tuning data for large language models and related research applications.

    Wang Liuhong Wang Hongqinling Ba Zhichao Wang Qi
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (3): 135-151.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.03.135
    Abstract365)      PDF(pc) (2605KB)(444)       Save
    Technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) serve as a pivotal force in bolstering independent innovation and facilitating research transformation. Understanding how technology, market forces, and policy mix interact to influence their innovation is crucial for fostering sustainable and high-quality growth among technology-based SMEs. Given the current dearth of comprehensive discussions on multifaceted conditions and mechanisms underlying local technology-based SME innovation, this study draws the Fogg behavior model (FBM) to conceptualize the innovation process of these enterprises as a collective driving behavior jointly shaped by capabilities, motivations, and policy interventions. It introduces an integrated analytical framework to explore the innovation landscape of local technology-based SMEs and employs a dynamic fsQCA method to conduct a configuration analysis of 283 cases from urban technology-based SMEs across China between 2015 and 2022. This analysis incorporates both inter-group and intra-group comparisons to reveal the spatiotemporal distribution disparities in configuration coverage. Our results indicate that: 1)the innovation of technology-based SMEs within a city is jointly propelled by its fundamental capabilities, innovation motivations, and a combination of policy interventions; 2)the synergistic interaction of “capabilities-motivations-policy” forms five distinct configuration paths that facilitate high-level innovation among local technology-based SMEs, exhibiting notable spatiotemporal heterogeneity; 3)under conditions of strong innovation motivation, capabilities and policy intervention combinations enhance the innovation level of local technology-based SMEs through equivalent substitution, achieving similar outcomes through diverse approaches.

    This study examines the role of proactivity in conversational search systems (CSS), identifying three key proactive interaction strategies, i.e., clarification, suggestion and disclosure.A mixed-initiative CSS was developed based on these strategies and compared with a user-initiative CSS. Experimental results showed that proactive CSS significantly improved the intrinsic, contextual, and representation quality of search results, enhanced system usability and social presence, and increased user trust and task attraction. Team consensus consistently mediated these effects. The findings offer both theoretical and practical insights for designing proactive CSS.

    The experimental method has become a significant research approach in the field of information behavior, and its academic value has been widely acknowledged. This paper analyzes the characteristics, limitations, and future directions of the experimental method in information behavior research, providing insights for its further development in this domain. The analysis focuses on literature published in SSCI and CSSCI (including the extended edition) journals, encompassing a total of 180 relevant articles. Using content analysis, the paper examines four key aspects: types of information behavior, types of experiments, experimental procedures, and research outcomes. The findings reveal a rich and long-tailed distribution of information behavior types and diverse data collection methods. However, the analysis also highlights limitations, such as the prevalence of homogeneous experimental settings and participant groups. Based on these findings, the paper proposes a framework for the application of the experimental method in information behavior research and explores future directions for experimental studies in the digital and intelligent era.

    Exploring the System and Mechanism of National Data Infrastructure for Promoting the Value Release of Data Elements
    Zhao Yiming Li Linxin Luo Lin Wang Zizhao Huang Dandi
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (5): 21-33.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.05.021
    Abstract228)      PDF(pc) (1211KB)(167)       Save
    The national data infrastructure serves as the key carrier for the circulation and utilization of data elements throughout their entire life cycle. It plays a strategic role in promoting the aggregation, sharing, security, and efficient use of data resources. From the perspective of value release of data elements, this paper systematically analyzes the functional and institutional requirements for the national data infrastructure. It is proposed that the national data infrastructure should provide support in all stages of data elements value realization, including "creation of use value—mining of application value—release of multiple values". Furthermore, this paper constructs a three-dimensional organizational system of "region—industry—enterprise" and an operational mechanism that includes "one core, two pillars, and two safeguards." This builds a comprehensive system for the construction and operation of national data infrastructure, covering the entire data element chain across platforms and hierarchical levels. Additionally, safeguard measures for the innovation of the construction and operation system mechanism are proposed from the dimensions of technological innovation, institutional construction, and ecological collaboration. This study provides theoretical basis and practical reference for promoting the high-quality development of national data infrastructure in China and accelerating the release of data element value.

    A Review of the Behavioral Research on Conversational Search: Defining the Paradigm, Constructing Models, and Characterizing Behaviors
    Meng Gaohui Liu Chang
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (4): 24-41.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.04.024

    At the developmental turning point brought by the generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) wave, this paper provides a comprehensive review of research on conversational search behavior. It examines how the new paradigm transforms traditional perceptions of search behavior, summarizes the current state and limitations of this field, and offers valuable research directions for future studies. By reviewing the research progress in defining the overall characteristics of human-computer interaction, modeling the behavior categories and development processes of users and agents, and characterizing the behavior features and related factors of users or agents in conversational search, it argues that the main limitations of previous studies are that research objects seldom cover the cognitive and emotional activities that drive objective dialogue actions, research scenarios are mostly limited to simulated human-human dialogue scenarios, and research topics rarely involve the evaluation of user behavior performance and the enhancement of user capabilities. Future research should inherit and develop the cognitive research paradigm in the field of interactive information retrieval, expand the research scenarios to real human-computer dialogues under the GenAI scenario, and focus on evaluating and discovering better user behavior patterns.

    The Leap from Data Resources to Data Asset: Path and Prospects for the Information Resources Management Discipline
    Li Ying Cao Yufei
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (3): 11-19.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.03.011
    Abstract377)      PDF(pc) (9129KB)(165)       Save
    As the fifth major production factor, the key to releasing the value of data lies in its assetization. This paper finds that the leap from data resources to data asset involves five key domains: confirmation of ownership of data asset,value assessment and pricing of data asset, data asset recognition in balance sheet, circulation and trading of data asset, and governance and management of data asset. The disciplinary responsibility and mission of Information Resources Management(IRM), as well as its theoretical system centered on data and information, provide inevitability and possibility for IRM to conduct research on data assetization. Moreover, IRM has already achieved relatively complete research results in data resources management, supporting its steady progress towards data assetization. Based on this, this paper looks ahead to the future research on data assetization in IRM, pointing out that IRM scholars should strengthen systematic research on data policies and regulations and improve the framework of data asset governance system in the future; focus on the open circulation of government data assets and explore new paths for authorized management; deeply explore the content and management of data assets in public libraries, and help promote service innovation and competitiveness improvement; pay attention to characteristic entities such as data providers and third-party service providers, and expand the practice of data assetization; address the ownership and security issues of user data assets, and enhance the data literacy and ability cultivation of practitioners. Ultimately, this paper aims to promote the improvement of the data-related research system in the IRM discipline.

    Construction of an Evaluation Indicator System for High-Quality Datasets in the Data Element Market
    Lin Zhenyang  Wu Jiang Hu Xin Wang Jingxuan Yuan Yiming Du Le
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (6): 52-66.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.06.052
    Abstract80)      PDF(pc) (1252KB)(164)       Save
    This study aims to construct a scientific data quality evaluation indicator system as a fundamental basis for promoting the market-oriented allocation of data elements. It provides a quantitative benchmark for the transformation of data resources into assets and capital, thereby supporting the development of a value circulation mechanism in the data element market. Based on grounded theory, this study systematically analyzes policy documents, technical standards, and expert interview materials to build a multi-level evaluation indicator system comprising four main dimensions—compliance characteristics, scale-related attributes, content-specific properties, and value-oriented features—with 12 first-level indicators and 32 second-level indicators. This study further adopts the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and expert consultation methods to determine indicator weights and develop a practical, operable comprehensive evaluation model. Empirical validation through the selection of high-quality datasets in Hubei Province demonstrates the model’s effectiveness and practical applicability. The findings provide theoretical support and practical references for data asset valuation, improving data circulation efficiency, and optimizing value transformation pathways.
