The Knowledge in the Making (KNOWMAK) project has developed an interactive tool that allows selected groups of users to visualise and analyse the production of knowledge in the European Research Area, with a particular focus on knowledge related to Societal Grand Challenges (SGC2) and Key Enabling Technologies (KET3). The tool is freely available on a public website (www.knowmak.eu). The tool is based on three existing data sources on knowledge production in the European Research Area (ERA)4, i.e. scientific publications derived from the Web of Science database (CWTS publication database), patents derived from PATSTAT (RISIS patent database) and European projects derived from CORDIS (RISIS EUPRO database). Additionally, the tool includes information from the experimental database on European social innovation projects (ESID), as well as information on user attention to scholarly publications derived from twitter. The tool has been developed through a co-creation approach that involved a group of lead users early on in the project. The group of lead users is understood as a core group of individuals who are archetypical for potential end users in terms of their data/information need, their professional experience, and their affiliation to one of the target groups, i.e. policy-makers, research managers/funders, companies, regional actors, or civil society representatives. |
