The Flow of Information:
Understanding and Evaluating

Understanding the flow of information from

  • the time of an event or a social event, movement, or discovery...

  • to the documentation of evidence related to the event or occurrence

  • to the interpretation of this evidence and

  • how we can find this information

The production of information is a static function that is influenced by market demand for knowledge about a particular topic. 

The Information timeline can help you understand when different kinds of information are produced and help you understand how and where to start your search.
