Scientific digital libraries provide users access to large amounts of data to satisfy their diverse information needs. Factors influencing users' decisions on the relevancy of a publication or a person are individual and usually only visible through posed queries or clicked information. However, the actual formulation or consideration of information requirements begins earlier in users' exploration processes. Hence, we propose capturing the (in)stability of factors supporting these relevancy decisions through users' different levels of manifestation.
