[Purpose/significance] This article aims to employ the STS (Science, Technology and Society) theoretical perspective to analyze the top ten academic hotspots in information resource management discipline from 2019 to 2023. [Method/process] The paper selects the STS subsystem analysis mode to discover the distribution of the top ten aca⁃ demic hotspots in different relational dimensions, and combines the trajectory of the relationship between science, tech⁃ nology, and society in the development history of the discipline to determine the distribution pattern and future direc⁃ tions of academic hotspots. [Result/conclusion] The development history of the discipline of information resource man⁃ agement and the top ten academic hotspots in the past five years have revealed the essential characteristics of the disci⁃ pline being driven by society. Scientific research in this field tends to respond to and solve social problems, and pays more attention to the impact of technology on society. However, the two paths of society and science on the shaping of technology have not been emphasized by the discipline of information resource management in the past.
