Purpose: The information search process, information behavior, and particularly collaborative information-seeking behavior (CISB) are fundamental human activities. Examining the conceptual dimensions and technical enablers of CISB deepens understanding of these collaborative dynamics. This study identifies the components of CISB among researchers investigating indigenous knowledge in the Turkmen Sahra region.
Methodology: This applied, qualitative study used thematic analysis. The target population comprised specialists in indigenous knowledge and collaborative information-seeking within the Turkmen Sahra region. Using snowball sampling until theoretical saturation, 13 participants were interviewed via semi-structured protocols provided in advance. Data were analyzed using MAXQDA.
Findings: Line-by-line coding of interview transcripts yielded 54 initial concepts after deduplication. Through iterative semantic clustering and validation by four Ph.D. holders in Information Science and Knowledge Studies, these refined into 32 basic/foundational themes, 9 organizing themes, and 3 global/overarching themes.
Conclusion: Cultural traditions, ethnic and linguistic diversity, resource constraints, indigenous knowledge valuation, and community collaboration readiness act as key contextual and intervening factors for regional researchers. These insights highlight the necessity of structured strategies for preserving and leveraging indigenous knowledge, enhancing research quality, fostering community participation, and advancing socio-ecological sustainability.
