✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The concepts of evidence and information are both central to the theory and practice of many fields. Among different fields, however, there is little explicit consensus on the nature of the relationship between the two concepts. One of the tasks of information studies is to explore and evaluate conceptions of information as evidence.
