社会信息学是以考虑到信息和通信技术与制度和文化背景的相互作用的方式来审查信息和通信技术的设计、使用和后果的研究主体。本文是对社会信息学的简要介绍。以计算机网络、通过电子期刊进行的科学交流和公众访问互联网等为例，说明社会信息学研究的关键思想。其中一些关键主题包括社会背景和工作流程、社会技术网络、公众获取信息以及支持计算的社会基础设施的重要性。这篇文章借鉴了25年来对信息技术和社会变革的系统分析和批判性研究。
Social informatics is the body of research that examines the design, uses, and consequences of information and communication technologies in ways that take into account their interaction with institutional and cultural contexts. This article serves as a brief introduction to social informatics. Examples such as computer networks, scientific communication via electronic journals, and public access to the Internet are used to illustrate key ideas from social informatics research. Some of the key themes include the importance of social contexts and work processes, sociotechnical networks, public access to information, and social infrastructure for computing support. The article draws upon 25 years of systematic analytical and critical research about information technology and social change.
