Abstract: The paper starts from sorting out systematically and summarizing the research related to information preference in China from 2006 to 2018 by literature research method. Next, it evaluates the existing research comprehensively and proposes the research direction in the future. The results show that the current research on information preference in China mainly focuses on the following four: the concept, the theoretical basis, the research methods and the application of information preference theory. The limitations of the existing research are as follows: lack of relevant basic theoretical studies, lack of combination of applied research and work practice, lack of research breadth and depth. In the future, it is necessary to build a perfect information preference theory system, perfect information service model and framework model based on information preference, and carry out interdisciplinary research.
