Hermeneutics rethinking and its role in the formation of qualitative research in the field of knowledge and information science with emphasis on Gadamer

 One of the methods of information analysis is the hermeneutic method which is a method for interpreting texts. The aim of the present study is to explain the hermeneutical method in the field of knowledge and Information science and provide a model of hermeneutical process analysis.

The present study is a critical-argumentative review in which documentary and library methods have been used for information gathering.

The findings showed that hermeneutical method can be used as one of the methods of qualitative research in the field of knowledge and Information science. What is shared between the field of knowledge and Information science with hermeneutics is the text's interpretation as information used in the field of data storage and retrieval systems. Moreover, in data retrieval systems, data entry is not possible without prior knowledge. The most important hermeneutic view in this area is that it considers recovery behavior as a text.

Hermeneutics can be used as a method in the field of knowledge and Information science in the production of new knowledge and in a way that plays an essential role in the field of information retrieval systems.
