Information unit management is a set of integrated theories, functions and techniques and is in progress. Likewise, it is imperative to focus on the epistemic studies of information unit management that allow us to understand its evolution as a field. What are the epistemic dimensions that make up the field of information unit management? The article aimed to describe the epistemic dimensions of the disciplinary field of information unit management in light of its progress. The justification for the study is based on understanding the evolution processes of information unit management. The study adopted a quantitative-qualitative approach as the most effective way to verify the progress of the field. It adopted documentary hermeneutics as a method through the two hermeneutic circles closed/circularity and open/spirality. It is inferred that information unit management is made up of holistic-interdisciplinary dimensions that include: information management; knowledge management; data management; people management; resource management; technology and material management; process management; design thinking; diagnosis and planning; and project management. These recurring holistic-interdisciplinary dimensions are not fixed; they merely represent the current disciplinary configuration of the field. They move as intervening variables, thus reflecting on each other and contributing to filling argumentative and practical gaps in the field.
