The article examines on whether digitization has made research more comprehensive in general and legal research in particular with specific emphasis on the holistic development of the subject. It goes on to comment on some of the limitations of digitization which in turn make legal research less comprehensive. And also narrates the advantages of Digitization in the light of Inter disciplinary works. In the conclusion the authors have examined the breadth versus depth of legal research.Keywords

Governments generate various types of information in different formats. To facilitate transparency and accountability, governments across countries make information available to citizens. Social science researchers use this information for studying different social and economic issues. The present study analyses the level of awareness among social science researchers regarding the perceived information quality, accessibility and relevance to their research. The digital documents are preferred more than the print and other formats in which government information is available. The purpose for which they use government information available in digital form has been studied along with the frequency of use of different kinds of government information. The study observes that social science researchers rank most government information as high quality and relevant to their research besides using frequently. Although there is no gender difference observed with respect to the use of government information, there is a significant difference between researchers in the domain of economics and other social science researchers so far as access to statistical information is concerned.Keywords
