Science and Knowledege 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. “ Barnaby Rich, 1613 (zit. nach Price)

Author of 26 books

“It‘s always the other author(s) who publishes too much and “pollutes“, “floods”, “eutroficates” the literature, never me”

Braun and Zsindely, 1985

Information overload is not a contemporary problem

Science has been growing exponentially for the last 400 years (Price, 1961)

Science and Knowledege Management

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
