Documentation Science

Documentation Science is the study of how information is organized, preserved, and accessed. It focuses on the creation, management, and dissemination of documents, whether physical or digital. This field examines how information is structured to ensure it is easily retrievable and usable, enhancing knowledge-sharing and communication. Documentation scientists analyze various formats, including texts, audiovisual materials, and databases, to improve how information is stored and transferred. Ultimately, their work supports effective information management, helping individuals and organizations find and utilize knowledge efficiently.
