The first part of the analysis was reported in an earlier paper and was linked to the call of Ian Rowlands for \u2018value-critical and paradigm-critical\u2019 approaches in information policy. The paper begins by comparing research in information policy with the output of the field of policy studies. It concludes that there are substantial gaps in the range of information policy research relative to the scope of policy studies. The gaps are located in areas where value-and paradigm-critical approaches could have most impact in taking the field of information policy to intellectual maturity. The implications of adopting value-and paradigm-critical approaches to scholarship are explored within the context of the new interpretative social sciences which are dominating much of contemporary scholarship. Some approaches and frameworks from the new methodologies which are seen as particularly relevant to information policy are described. A case is made for extending the range of research paradigms employed in information policy research in the interests of strengthening its currently inadequate intellectual foundations. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/016555159702300501","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,18]],"date-time":"2004-12-18T01:36:35Z","timestamp":1103333795000},"page":"339-351","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The field of information policy: 2.
