The paper summarizes the current research on the concept of context. Besides, it introduces the levels of context and makes a review on this field from both of research on theories and empirical studies, including information environment level, information seeking level, information retrieval interaction level and query level. Additionally, it outlines the research existing problems and the future directions of context in information retrieval.
