Table 3

Conceptual coding of the cited corpus

Analytic category	Role in synthesis	Cited works coded to category, non-exclusive (n)
Information behavior, practices, and encountering	Explains active seeking, incidental exposure, source use, and everyday information practice	17
Fractured landscapes, discontinuity, sense-making, and information horizons	Explains gaps, boundary crossing, and movement across different information settings	8
Cognitive authority, trust, and credibility	Explains why some sources become worth relying on and how credibility differs from action-guiding authority	12
CAM survivorship, disclosure, and sociocultural mediation	Grounds the framework in cancer survivorship, Chinese immigrant health, minority and underserved populations, family mediation, TCM, and clinician-patient communication	31
Digital platforms, misinformation, and platformed credibility	Explains how ranking, recommendation, repetition, social endorsement, and commercial visibility shape trust	16

Note(s): The categories in Table 3 are not mutually exclusive. Each cited work was coded to one or more analytic categories based on its role in the synthesis. For example, a study of CAM disclosure among Chinese immigrant cancer survivors could be coded under both “CAM survivorship, disclosure, and sociocultural mediation” and “cognitive authority, trust, and credibility.” The purpose of the coding was to make the logic of conceptual relevance visible, not to classify studies into mutually exclusive evidence types
