及时、准确地获取最先进的科学知识仍然是一项艰巨的挑战。绝大多数科学文章本质上都是短暂的。他们可能永远不会受到科学界或其他相关利益相关者的关注。科学的进步必须处理有争议的、冲突的、不完整的和不一致的信息。不确定性是科学探究和学术交流不可或缺的一部分，但它们在理解整个科学知识方面的重要作用却被大大低估了。我们引入了一个概念框架，用于研究与科学知识的创建、验证和传播相关的不确定性。我们利用科学绘图技术和方法来说明特定科学文献在知识地标、关键路径、转折点和跨越边界方面的演变。
Accessing the state of the art of scientific knowledge timely and precisely remains a profound challenge. The vast majority of scientific articles are transient in nature. They may never receive attention from the scientific community or other relevant stakeholders. Advances of science must deal with controversial, conflicting, incomplete, and discrepant information. Uncertainties are an integral part of scientific inquiry and scholarly communication, but their essential role in understanding scientific knowledge as a whole has been considerably underestimated. We introduce a conceptual framework for the study of uncertainties associated with the creation, validation, and communication of scientific knowledge. We utilize science mapping techniques and approaches to illustrate the evolution of a particular body of scientific literature in terms of intellectual landmarks, critical paths, turning points, and boundary spanning bridges.
