-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Academic Research on Disaster Information Management is Growing Rapidly and Steadily Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2021 02:04:58 +0000 From: Jochen Scholl jscholl@uw.edu To: aisworld aisworld@lists.aisnet.org
DIRL Version 4.0 Released
As per November 1, 2021, version 4.0 of the Disaster Information Reference Library (DIRL)http://faculty.washington.edu/jscholl/dirl/index.php has been released, which is about two weeks ahead of the original schedule (November 15). The library now contains 3,933 references of predominantly English-language, peer-reviewed work in the study domains of disaster information and information technologies and their uses in the context of disasters. This represents an increase over the previous version of 423 references, or 11.4%. The DIRL release historyhttp://faculty.washington.edu/jscholl/dirl/history.php reveals that from the inaugural DIRL version 1.0 to this version (DIRL v. 4.0), the peer-reviewed academic literature has almost quadrupled in the course of little over four years. This is a remarkable increase of the body of academic knowledge in the particular area of disaster information management and disaster information technology within a relatively short period of time.
The DIRL is intended to become an indispensable tool for Disaster Information and Technology-interested scholars. In particular, reviewers of paper submissions may want to rely on this reference library.
