Abstract： [Purpose/significance] After 10 years, this paper re-investigated bachelor of science in information science (BSIS) programs in U.S. top iSchools, and explored the evolution and trend of undergraduate courses in the past 10 years, so as to provide useful experience and reference for educational reform of similar undergraduate majors in information management schools and departments in China.[Method/process] Select BSIS programs offered by top 10 iSchools on U.S. News best graduate schools rankings of library and information studies. Collect the information of bachelor degree programs and corresponding courses through iSchool official websites. Investigate and analyze the changes of overall project design, training objectives, core courses and elective courses, classified the courses and probed into the moving directions of each course classification.[Result/conclusion] Compared with that of 2009, the BSIS programs in U.S. top iSchools had undergone new changes in project development, training objectives setting, core (required)/elective courses design and so on in 2019. By classifying and coding the undergraduate courses of the programs, the courses could be divided into 13 categories, but the distribution of courses in different categories is relatively scattered, showing obvious multi-path and diversified educational characteristics in U.S. top iSchools. Furthermore, this study examined and introduced the recent trends of each course category. The study also discussed five aspects of enlightenment to the undergraduate curricular reform of information management schools and departments in China.

Abstract： [Purpose/significance] In order to facilitate the introduction of institutional talents and establish a standardized process for the identifying the domain core team, this study researches the core team in the field from four aspects:author identification in core areas, discrimination of team guidance relationship, team publication tendency and team research direction. [Method/process] The selection process of the core team included:firstly, carrying out the preliminary data specification; secondly, the core region authors were divided based on undirected binary matrix and core-edge structure analysis, and they were adjusted appropriately combined with multi-dimensional index; finally, the core research teams were identified based on the directed weighted network between the first author and the other authors. [Result/conclusion] On the basis of clarifying the basic process of discriminating the team guidance relationship, the following general rules are refined:①In a co-authoring team of the "outer star" topology, the node at the center has a higher probability of being a mentor, while authors of the "cohesive star" topology whose co-authoring team is located in the center of the network have strong scientific research capabilities; ②In a directed weighted network between the first author and the other authors, if two nodes have the relationship between the first author and the corresponding author at the same time, the same affiliated institution, and a certain difference in academic age, there must be a guidance relationship, and a high probability of a mentoring relationship between these two nodes.

Abstract：
This paper combs and clarifies the development logic behind the evolution ary process of global information policy in the past 50 years， and points out the trends of future research by looking back at the past. Using bibliometric analysis, knowledge mapping and other methods to analyze more than a thousand pieces of literature on information policy across more than half a century，and summarize the thread of emergence，evolution，and future development of information policy. According to the characteristic changes of the number of publications, central and burst terms, clustered keywords, etc. , the staged evolutionary process of global information policy was divided into the information society policy-led stage (1967 一 1985 ) , the scientific and technological information policy-led stage (1986 — 1992) , the technique diffusion policy-led stage (1993 - 1998 ) , the Internet policy-led stage (1999 - 2005 ) ， the data governance policy-led stage (2006 -2011)，the social media policy-led stage (2012 -2014)，and the Internet of Everything (IoE) policy-led stage (2015-present). There are profound interactions between the staged evolutionary process and the changing in formation environment. In the future，the path-dependent nature of logical evolution will continue to promote the co evolution of information policy research along with information technology and information environment, and to ad dress the evolving regulatory challenges that comprehensive informatization of society brings to information policy.
