SoCS: OKES: An Open Knowledge Exchange System to Promote Meta-Disciplinary Collaboration Based on Socio-Technical Principles

社会技术知识交流的新范式，特别是在学科内部和跨学科之间，对于产生关于如何创造（和可以）新知识的见解非常重要。学术研究人员经常使用基于网络的工具，如维基、博客、电子知识库和开放出版系统来促进知识的公开交流，但取得的成功程度参差不齐。这项工作创造了一个基于社会技术原则的开放知识交流系统，有利于合作研究和新知识的产生。这项工作将促进平等的审查进程，为小额贡献提供支助，以及对工作文件进行全面审查，并允许立即对贡献的相关性和效用作出反馈。这项工作从概念设计开始，并开发一个由现有工具组成的社会技术系统，作为开放访问和所有人可用的KES的基础。它将收集数据，以便将来分析用户行为和结果，以评估系统的相关性、充分性和性能。S功能元素。知识价值：这项工作将确定一个成功的、社区介导的开放学术交流系统所需的参与者、互动和贡献的新知识。更广泛的影响：OKES将提供一个研究驱动的蓝图，用于启动和运营一个开放的学术知识交流，这有望丰富许多领域的学术研究环境。它将帮助学生和行业从业者更积极地参与知识生成，并产生丰富的研究数据集，以支持后续研究。

New paradigms for socio-technical knowledge exchange, especially within and across academic disciplines, is important in order to generate insights about how new knowledge is (and can be) created. Academic researchers regularly use Web-based tools such as wikis, blogs, electronic repositories and open publishing systems to promote the open exchange of knowledge, but with varied levels of success. This work creates an open knowledge exchange system that is based on socio-technical principles, one conducive to collaborative research and the generation of new knowledge. This work will facilitate an egalitarian review process, provide support for micro-contributions as well as full-length reviews of working papers, and allow for immediate feedback on the relevance and utility of contributions. The work begins with a conceptual design and develops a socio-technical system comprised of existing tools as the basis for a KES openly accessible and available to all. It will gather data for future analysis of user behaviors and outcomes to assess the relevance, adequacy and performance of the system?s functional elements.Intellectual Merit: This work will identify new knowledge about the participants, interactions, and contributions required for a successful, community-mediated system of open academic exchange. Broader Impact: OKES will provide a research-driven blueprint for launching and operating an open, academic knowledge exchange, which promises to enrich the academic research climate for many fields. It will help students and practitioners in industry more actively engage in knowledge generation, and produce a rich research dataset to support follow-on studies.
