Open Knowledge Maps - A visual interface to the world's scientific knowledge | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

VISUAL INTERFACE
We are creating a visual interface to the world's scientific knowledge that can be used by anyone in order to dramatically improve the discoverability of research results.

REVOLUTIONIZE DISCOVERY
We are going to provide a large-scale system of open, interactive and interlinked knowledge maps spanning all fields of research.

SHARE. USE. COLLABORATE.
We will develop a space for collective knowledge organisation and exploration, connecting researchers, students, librarians, journalists, practitioners and citizens.

HOW IT WORKS
An Open Knowledge Maps visualization presents you with a topical overview for your search term.


We use text similarity to create the knowledge maps. The algorithm groups those papers together that have many words in common.


The visualization is intended to give you a head start on your literature search. You can also use Open Knowledge Maps to stay up-to-date - just limit your search to the most recent papers in the options.
