Abstract Friction plays a vital role in energy dissipation, device failure, and even energy supply in modern society. After years of research, data and information on tribology research are becoming increasingly available. Because of the strong systematic and multi-disciplinary coupling characteristics of tribology, tribology information is scattered in various disciplines with different patterns, e.g., technical documents, databases, and papers, thereby increasing the information entropy of the system, which is inconducive to the preservation and circulation of research information. With the development of computer and information science and technology, many subjects have begun to be combined with information technology, and multi-disciplinary informatics has been born. This paper describes the combination of information technology with tribology research, presenting the connotation and architecture of tribo-informatics, and providing a case study on implementing the proposed concept and architecture. The proposal and development of tribo-informatics described herein will improve the research efficiency and optimize the research process of tribology, which is of considerable significance to the development of this field.

Personal thoughts on the varied practice and still unformed theory of information science. After some four decades of strong development of information handling practice, largely in support of the disciplines of science and technology, advances in the traditional areas of practice have slowed down as information technology has been more widely applied. Meanwhile, a true theory of information science has failed to materialize.

Scientific and technological information products and services are one of the important factors that create the scientific and technological information potential of each country. In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution having a strong impact on all aspects of socio-economic life, the policy of applying information technology to the development of information science and technology products and services needs improving to promote the provision of scientific and technological information products and services to organizations, individuals and businesses. On the basis of systematization and assessment of current regulations on information technology application policies in the development of information science and technology products and services, the study proposes some orientations to improve the current policy.

Since the main report of coronavirus (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China, it has spread to almost 100 different nations. As China started its reaction to the infection, it inclined toward its solid innovation division and explicitly man-made brainpower (AI), information science, and innovation to track and battle the pandemic while tech pioneers, including Alibaba, Baidu, Huawei and more quickened their organization's social insurance activities.This paper focuses on how technology assumed an enormous job in China's endeavors to contain the coronavirus episode and how the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can use the same methodology and expertise of both China and Germany to avoid the continued spread of the virus. Besides, it clarifies the strong measures taken by The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to confront political, monetary, social and strict difficulties of COVID-19.

Analiza artículos científicos sobre Ciencias de la Información y Humanidades Digitales indexados en las bases de datos Dimensions, Scopus y Web of Science bajo una perspectiva bibliométrica. La investigación es considerada como exploratoria, siendo realizado un estudio bibliométrico con 57 artículos publicados entre los años 2011 a 2020. La mayoría de las publicaciones recuperadas están en inglés. Los años 2015 y 2018 fueron los más productivos. La autoría colaborativa está presente en el 64,92% de los artículos. La revista más productiva es Proceedings of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS & T). Cuando se analizan los resúmenes, se observa que las palabras recurrentes pasan a ser ciencia, humanidad, tecnología, comunidad, humanidades digitales, biblioteca, entre otras que aparecen en la red de palabras. Se concluye que este tema permite varias investigaciones e interacciones y que este corpus puede ser explorado en otro tipo de investigaciones. It analyzes the scientific articles on Information Science and Digital Humanities indexed in the databases Dimensions, Scopus and Web of Science from a bibliometric perspective. It develops an exploratory and bibliometric study of 57 articles published between the years 2011 to 2020. The majority of publications are in English. The years 2015 and 2018 were the most productive. Shared authorship with 64,92% is the predominant one. The most productive journal is the Proceedings of the Association for Information Science and Technology which publishes on information science and information technology. When analyzing the abstract it is observed that the recurring words become science, humanity, tecnology, community, digital humanities, library among others that are in the word network. It concludes that this subject allows several researchers and interactions and that this corpus can be explored in the other types of research.

Information is an important and vital source for each and every kind of organizations, institutions and so on. Information is very much close to the data and knowledge. Previously only information related affairs viz. collection to dissemination performed by the manual tools and techniques but the development of science and technology played a vital role in respect of information affairs. Initially, Documentation Science is treated as most important and valuable but gradually other subjects viz. Information Studies played a lead role in performing the jobs. Gradually another nomenclature became popular and played a great role in the information related affairs i.e. Information Science. It is important to note that at the beginning of the domain the performance and activities are mainly governed by the manual tools and techniques but gradually technologies influenced a better role. The requirement of information and contents in other areas and sectors lead the uses of domain ‘Information Science’. The domain thus combined with manual information management affairs and also technological components. The field Information Science and its applications in other subjects and sectors developed newer fields and domains viz. Health Information Science, Geo Information Science etc. Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs) in India doing well in respect of starting of new programs and new age degrees. The Private universities are suitably contributing for the development of Information Science and Technology field for other domains. This paper is a case study; and investigation of private universities in India with reference to domain centric Information Science/ IT programs.

Abstract The present paper presents the conclusions related to the approaches in which the online learning on the topic of technical education has influenced the quality of the way the information is conveyed. The paper presents a case study on a group of 10 students from each specialization of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology within the “George Emil Palade” University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of Târgu Mureș, approximately 10 months after the teaching activities have taken place exclusively online. The conclusions refer to a number of rules specific to technical communication and how they are used by the facilitators, namely by the teachers. The purpose of the paper is to identify the constraints related to the online environment, in the event that this system is practical and useful to future engineers as well
