Science and Knowledge Management

“One of the diseases of this age is the multiplicity of books; they doth so overcharge the world that it is not able to digest the abundance of idle matter that is every day hatched and brought forth into the world. “
“It‘s always the other author(s) who publishes too much and “pollutes“, “floods”, “eutroficates” the literature, never me”
Science and Knowledege Management
Barnaby Rich, 1613 (zit. nach Price)
Author of 26 books
Barnaby Rich Effect:
Braun and Zsindely, 1985

Information overload is not a contemporary problem
Science has been growing exponentially for the last 400 years (Price, 1961)
Papers (Larsen/von Ins, 2010)
Scientists (NSF, 2010)
Price, 1961
extendedbyLeydesdorff (2008)

Consequences
Simultaneous/repeated discoveries
Scientific paper fails (largely) as a means of knowledge transfer
Practices
“Invisible colleges” (Robert K. Merton)
Knowledge transfer through collaboration rather than papers

Recent developments in the light of Web 2.0
Dissemination via Preprints and Open Archives
Collaborative reference management
Mendeley: ~ 80 million papers
Opening up of the research process: Open Science, Open Notebook Science
Knowledge Transfer in Social Networks
Use of “generic” tools such as newsgroups, blogs, Twitter, Google Docs
The Web (2.0) shapes and changes research practices = Science 2.0

How can I use Web 2.0 for my research?

Mendeley – Reference Management

Mendeley – Social Networking

Mendeley – Research Papers

Twitter – Groups and Keyword Searches
