KM: Knowledge Management

• Knowledge management

– Surfing the information wave

– Learning, Teaching, Research

– Watching... managerial professional approach

• Methods and tools to identify and capitalize knowledge

– For individuals (MDs, patients)

– For groups (Labs, Units, Companies)

• Science Watch (professionals)

• or simply curiosity (laypeople)?

• Life-long learning

Once upon a time..

• Keeping abreast of scientific information...

– Was using Current Contents

» Nowadays, the world has changed

"The Times They Are A-Changin'"

– Curation appeared recently on stage, on top of SEOs (Search Engine Optimization)

Grey Literaturesince end of 90's,

• Thesis, Reports

• Patents

• Scientific News Magazines

• Press releases

• Internet– Websites, Blogs, Tweets.. – Social networks...RSS flux– So much information... it becomes grey

Internet +OPEN Revolution

• Scholarly publishing

– Exponential growth (Med 2 papers/mn)

– From OPEN Source softwares to OPEN Access literature (Gold or Green)

• + Internet

» How do endusers search?: GOOGLE

Recent Evolutionsand Concerns• Too much information is killing information... and

knowledge– Surinformation, Pollution informationnelle,

– Harcèlement textuel

– Infobesity

• Networking

– From individuals and communities of interest

– To (social) networks

Data Curation vsKnowledge Curation

.... the process of establishing and developing long term repositories of digital assets for current and future reference by researchers, scientists, historians, and scholars.

Enterprises are starting to utilize digital curation to improve the quality of information and data within their operational and strategic processes..

• A recent concept

– USA 2009,

– France 2011

CURATION for knowledge management

What is curation?– Concept– Tools

• Scoop.it! Vs other tools

• Experiences with Scoop.it in immunology

• Other experiences for– Other fields of Research, – Science mediation– Information literacy

Curation is... gold panningand goldsmith

• Selection

– Editorialisation

– Agregation, distillation,

• Commenting

– Elevation, mashup

• Diffusion

– Sharing

Curation tools (32)

• Google news• Pearltrees, Paper.li, Pinterest, TumblR,

Storify, Sharezy, Flipboard... • Scoop.it

– A french and californian start-up– Various plans (Individual, Educational,

Business)– Growing 2014: >1,5M curators, >75M posts,

150M Visitors, 3K companies

» Crawling tool +++

Curation possibilitieswith Scoop.it • Two major

– Keeping abreast of information either published or grey

– Building of databases (personal or common)

» Curation is

– Commenting, taging

– Sending through e-mail,

– Sharing through tweets, linkedin, pinterest, tumblr,

– Sending Newsletters

» Another kind of social network

Enrichment and Access

Building of specific databases (/individual or group curation)

Crawling of internet through keywords• Use of applet to download• Creation of scoops + publishing through

Slideshare...• Reloading of scoops from other members of

network, and followed topics

ACCESS• Finding again with a dedicated search engine

Topics coveredwith colleagues from SFI, Portugal, Spain, France...

• Basic Science, Biotechnologies, BioTherapies– Immunology (5K scoops, >27K visitors, >35K

views)– From Flow Cytometry to Cytomics (>3.2K scoops,

>5.6K visitors, >12K views)– Immunology and Biotherapies (4.6K sc, 3.6K vis, 7.7K

views)– Mucosal Immunity (2K sc, 1.7K vis, 3.5K views)

• Immuno-Pathology– Autoimmunity, (1K sc, 1.7K vis, 2.8K views)– Allergy, (1.5K sc, 1.1K vis, 2.5K views)– Hematology (1.5sc, 1.4vis, 2.8views)– Neuroimmunology...

Curating with Scoop it Share ideas that matters

• A day to day duty for scientists and researchers like « Walking the dog »

• Scoop it: a virtual space in the cloud– to collect and keep highly selected

informations • As well as others scooped by

other curators in your community

– to find them when required

Summary

• Probably the best curation tool on the web for serious information– Crawling engine and enrichment capacities

• A virtual dedicated scientific news « journal » and database easy to browse, and attractive– For information literacy and curiosity

– Search engine inside is a major asset • The human factor of curation is the added

value compared to robots (SEO): selection, editorialism

• And also the limit, requiring everyday work
