"The Social Construction of Meaning: An Alternative Perspective on Information Sharing" (2003) by Miranda and Saunders offers a new viewpoint on information sharing by focusing on the social construction of meaning. The authors argue that information sharing is not just about transmitting data, but also about creating shared meaning within social contexts. This alternative perspective emphasizes the role of social interactions, communication, and interpretation in the process of information sharing. Keywords: social construction, information sharing, shared meaning.
