ASIS&T DOCTORAL DISSERTATION AWARD ANNOUNCEMENT 2025
Dr. Indra McKie has been awarded the immensely prestigious doctoral dissertation award by the Association of Information science and technologies (ASIS and T) as a reward of her outstanding contribution to the information science community. The award is granted to doctoral research that is original, scholarly rigorous, and has a strong academic and professional impact.
The ASIS&T Doctoral Dissertation Award is awarded in each year as a recognition of the emerging scholars whose studies contribute to the knowledge on topics of information behaviour, digital systems, knowledge organization, and information policy. Every year, the dissertation is evaluated by the panel of senior academicians and industry experts of the international information science community.
The dissertation of Dr. McKie was chosen because it has a solid theoretical basis, a new research approach, and topicality to the current information problems. Her work has also contributed well to the changing role of information systems and practices as it can be considered as a source of insight that can be included in the literature of information systems as well as practice.
In its official statement, ASIS&T stressed the importance of inspiring new researchers who are just starting out in the field because their work will have an impact on its future. The association observed that the work of Dr. McKie is an example of intellectual inquisitiveness, analytical insight and dedication to excellence which the Doctoral Dissertation Award tries to honor.
As part of the award requirements, Dr. McKie will receive official acknowledgment at one of the next ASIS&T sessions, where she will be able to present her work to a global audience of professionals and academics. Such acknowledgment results in an academic exchange and assists in the further interdisciplinary cooperation of the information science sphere.
The doctoral research is crucial to global issues like digital transformation, information equity and data ethics. ASIS&T is furthering its objective of raising the standard of research and information that would improve the theory and practice of information science and technology by recognizing exceptional dissertations.
We would like to congratulate Dr. Indra McKie for winning the ASIS&T Doctoral Dissertation Award. This move is a significant turn in her academic career and shows a sense of commitment, expertise, as well as an important contribution that she has given to the information science community.
