For instance, a 2018 article entitled \u201cChinese Female Preference of Cosmetic Products Information Channels\u201d describes Chinese women\u2019s information-seeking behaviors in regards to cosmetics.22<\/sup>\u00a0In other words, readers will expect articles to be varied in terms of topic selection but remain grounded in solid LIS theory.<\/p>\n Last updated:<\/strong>\u00a0March 12, 2018<\/p>\n Publication analysis About the publication Title:\u00a0Global Knowledge, Memory and Communication (GKMC)\u00a0(formerly\u00a0Library Review).
