Abstract

[Purpose/significance] This paper makes a sorting and review on the existing experimental study of collaborative information seeking behavior, aiming to provide some alternative references and specific experimental design proposal for the follow-up study.[Method/process] Based on literature research, a typical experimental study on collaborative information seeking behavior is constituted from 6 aspects of experimental goal, subject, system, task, procedure and result. Through the specific analysis, some key issues and impacts of behavioral research are discussed in detail.[Result/conclusion] The future research directions of collaborative information seeking behavior experiment include:the negative impact on search effectiveness in virtual community's collaborative environment, the difference analysis between explicit and tacit collaborative information seeking behavior, the applying method of experimental research result in real collaborative environment.
