My presentation from Wissenscamp at Barcamp Graz 2011.

1. Science 2.0 @PeterKraker #wcg11 #bcg11

2. Science and Knowledge Management

3. “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

4. Science and Knowledege Management 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)

5. 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

6. 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

7. How can I use Web 2.0 for my research?

8. Mendeley – Reference Management

9. Mendeley – Social Networking

10. Mendeley – Research Papers

11. Twitter – Groups and Keyword Searches

12. Trend Detection using TEL Twitter Data http://stellar.know-center.tugraz.at/vis
