This exploratory data analysis identifies keyword associations in immigration literature, suggesting implications for LIS scholarship.
Through this inquiry, we identify associations between immigration‐related terms in the library and information science (LIS) literature over the last decade. We report on an exploratory data analysis of selected keywords in immigration‐related LIS scholarship, interpreting legal–criminalized and individual–social and societal distinctions. Our preliminary findings suggest that associations between migration‐related keywords are essential for LIS scholars and practitioners to reflect upon, and we emphasize the responsibility of wielding keywords with attention to the connotations they may reinforce or reimagine.
