What is “kmb”?


“End of Grant” KMb: (curiosity-driven research):

The researcher develops and implements a plan for making knowledge users aware of the knowledge generated.

“Integrated” KMb (problem-based research):

The researcher engages potential knowledge users as partners in the research process. Requires a colaborative or participatory approach to research that is action oriented and is solutions and impact focused.

Types of “kmb”


“…knowledge mobilization…[is] a circulation of multiple

meanings and responsibilities, in multiple directions - not just

for diverse users, but also for the knowledge producers.”

Fenwick, T. (2008). Considering ‘Knowledge Mobilization’ in Educational Research: What knowledge, what mobilizes, what responsibilities? Educational Insights, 12(2). www.ccfi.educ.ubc.ca/publication/insights/v12n02/articles/fenwick/index.html

What is “kmb”?

Open Access

Open access (OA) is the practice of providing unrestricted access via the Internet to peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles.

• Green: authors publish in any journal and then self-archive a version of the article for free public use in their institutional repository.

• Gold: authors publish in an open access journal that provides immediate OA to all of its articles on the publisher's website.

• Hybrid: provide Gold OA only for those individual articles for which their authors (or their author's institution or funder) pay an OA publishing fee
