21st Century Tools for Researchers and Practitioners: Using Automated Tools for Knowledge Curation
Abt Associates
Internet search engines have empowered citizens in their quest for seeking insights on a multitude of issues. Knowledge curation and evidence review requires systematic and rigorous fact-finding, baseline subject matter expertise, and the right tool to work at scale. Finding and summarizing knowledge has a direct impact on the research and dissemination of evidencebased practices and novel approaches, and on improved outcomes of interest. Literature reviews are the most common methodology for knowledge curation but are limited by lack of human resources and the sheer number of publications available. It is estimated that there are approximately 30,000 scientific journals publishing upwards of two million articles every year (Wagner et al., 2021). In this context, subject matter experts benefit from the support of automated tools to provide customized, iterative, and replicable processes. Many of the world's most challenging problems need solutions that move beyond a Google search.
