A review of a range of epistemic concepts that are commonly researched was conducted with reference to conventional epistemology and with reference to foundational approaches to justification. These were assessed in relation to previous research undertaken linking information behavior and experience with paradigm, metatheory, and discourse. This research assesses how the epistemic concept is treated, both within information science and within disciplines that have affinities to the topics or agents that have been the subject of inquiry within the field. An attempt is made to clarify the types of connections that are associated with the epistemic concept and to provide a clearer view of how research focused on information behavior might consider the questions underpinning assumptions relating to knowledge and knowing. The symbiotic connection between epistemics and information science is advanced as a suitably nuanced conception of socially organized knowledge from which to define the appropriate level at which knowledge claims can be usefully advanced. It is proposed that fostering a better understanding of epistemics as a research practice might also provide for the development of a range of insights and methods that reflect the dynamic context within which the study of information behavior and information experience is located.

认识论，认识论信念，个人认识论和认识论：概念的综述，因为它们影响信息行为研究

参照常规认识论和合理性的基本方法，对通常研究的一系列认识论概念进行了回顾。这些评估是根据先前的研究进行的，这些研究将信息行为和经验与范式，元理论和话语联系起来。这项研究评估了在信息科学和与主题或代理相关的学科内，如何对待认知概念。试图澄清与认知概念相关的联系类型，并提供更清晰的观点，以信息行为为重点的研究如何考虑与知识和知识有关的假设所支撑的问题。认识论与信息科学之间的共生联系作为对社会组织知识的适当细化概念而得到发展，从中定义了可以有效推进知识主张的适当水平。建议将对认知学的更好理解作为一种研究实践，也可能会提供一系列的见解和方法，以反映信息行为和信息体验研究所处的动态环境。
