The Information Needs Matrix: A navigational guide for refugee integration
作者：
Highlights：
• Refugees are faced with numerous needs to integrate into unfamiliar environment; host societies have difficulties providing for distinct needs.
• We demonstrate that there is an order to the needs encountered during the integration journey.
• We propose an information needs matrix that can act as a research map for immigrant and refugee information behaviour studies.
• For policy and practice, the matrix is informational and operational: informational to the refuge-seekers and operational for the host society.
