Abstract

[Purpose/significance] The article explores the influence factors of scientific researchers' intention to use personal information management tools and constructs a related conceptual frame model, which provides theoretical guidance and advice to develop effective personal information management tool, and improve the information utilization and work efficiency.[Method/process] The qualitative data is collected from 17 scientific researchers using semi-structured interviews. Then four primary factors that influence the intention to use personal academic information management tools are conclued according to coding analysis based on grounded theory and the influence factors model is constructed, including perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, individual factors and contextual factors. Meanwhile according to the investigation and analysis of scientific researchers' demands, eight commonly used academic information management tools are selected by this study for comparative analysis, from the aspects of information classification and acquisition, storage management, organization and communication and sharing.[Result/conclusion] The construction of personal academic information management tool for scientific researchers needs should take into consideration the users' interface, information organization structure, users' cognitive limitations, information synchronization sharing, academic information security, users' usage habits, semantic integration and pushing and team research information sharing.
