Inforsk (The Information Research Group) started in 1975, and has since then been at the Department of Sociology at Umeå university, Sweden.

The main focus of research is the study of communication among scientists and engineers. During the first ten years a series of studies on information use and informal communication were made.

Since 1985 bibliometric research methods have been applied to answer research questions in library and information science, science policy, sociology of science, history of ideas, cognitive and social mapping of research fields etc.

Since the early 1990s the Inforsk group has been engaged in teaching within the Library and Information Science programme at Umeå university.
