Questions Part 1
We are here at the Mundaneum, the cradle of documentation.• What are you thinking about the idea of
indexing the whole knowledge of the world at one place, in one index?
• Do you think that Open Access and Open Science make it easier to 'order the world' - something of this kind?
Questions Part 2
• What is Open Science for you? Do you think the Sciences/ the Scientists are ready for Open Science today?
• For instance, is reviewing literature becoming easier today or harder? Think about the different available tools like WoS, Scopus, Google Scholar,, or academic network sites to store/access academic profiles and papers such as Mendeley, ResearchGate, Academia.edu etc …
Questions Part 3There is an ongoing discussion on the ethics of bibliometrics (e.g. Leiden manifesto) and concern that professionalization and standardization in the field is actually threading the intellectual freedom and academic discourse. What do we need most?
• Better information retrieval and knowledge discovery principles on existing content services?
• Better indicators to evaluate and order scientific output? • Better education how to use the IR/Content services around? • More data? Different data?
– Try to give priorities!– Share experiences from your practices!– Formulate a wish list!
Questions Part 4
With the digitization of all knowledge, the access and the type of access we have to knowledge has changed drastically (hence we are talking about “better information retrieval needs”), however the gatekeepers of knowledge are still the same.
• What will be the future of knowledge flow of academy/research?
