Discover & Map Your Research: Exploring Connections with Open Knowledge Maps
Struggling to keep track of research articles? Looking for a smarter way to navigate academic literature? Join us for a workshop on Open Knowledge Maps, an open-source tool that generates visual knowledge maps that cluster related research papers by topics, enabling intuitive exploration of scientific literature. Instead of scrolling through endless lists of search results, learn how to organize your research into interactive knowledge clusters, helping you uncover connections between studies, trends, and key topics.
In This Workshop, We Will Cover:
• Understanding Open Knowledge Maps: How it works and why it enhances literature discovery.
• Generating and Interpreting Maps: Techniques for refining searches and analyzing clustered research.
• Practical Applications: How researchers can integrate Open Knowledge Maps into their workflow.
• Limitations and Workarounds: Understanding the scope and constraints of the platform.

This workshop is open to students, researchers, faculty, and librarians across all disciplines who want to improve their research discovery process. No prior experience with Open Knowledge Maps is required.
I’m here to support your work with emerging computational methods, engaging learning spaces, and a campus-wide network of technological expertise. My personal research interests include 3D technologies (e.g. photogrammetry, VR, etc.) and embodied cognition. After studying philosophy at the undergraduate and graduate level (at the Universities of Florida and Oklahoma, respectively), I began working full time in libraries and developing new tools and systems to augment research and instruction across disciplines.
As a researcher, I also study the state and trajectory of digital scholarship more generally, as well as what it takes to manage exploratory teams in libraries and the impact of new knowledge services related to physical fabrication and mindfulness. If you are considering a digital scholarship component for your project, please reach out so we can discuss how myriad library resources and collections might be employed to support your research, your lab, and/or other aspects of your scholarship.
