Science and Knowledge Management
“One of the diseases of this age is the multiplicity of books; they doth so overcharge the world that it is not able to digest the abundance of idle matter that is every day hatched and brought forth into the world. “
Barnaby Rich 1613 (cited after Price)
Author of 26 books
“It‘s always the other author(s) who publishes too much and “pollutes“, “floods”, “eutroficates” the literature, never me”
Braun and Zsindely 1985
Barnaby Rich Effect:

Papers (Larsen/von Ins 2010)
Scientists (NSF 2010)

Science and Knowledge Management
Consequences
Simultaneous/repeated discoveries
Scientific paper fails (largely) as a means of knowledge transfer
Practices
“Invisible colleges” (Robert K. Merton)
Knowledge transfer through collaboration rather than papers
