Discovery of knowledge flow in science

Scientists have developed many approaches to the static representation of knowledge, and to extracting, discovering, learning and reasoning about it. The knowledge flow network implicit in the citation network consists of knowledge flows between nodes that process knowledge, including reasoning, fusing, generalizing, inventing and problem solving, by authors and co-authors. Coordinating and fusing knowledge flows, data flows, and control flows, and integrating knowledge flows and workflows are powerful means for making teamwork effective. Using the rules of knowledge flow makes teamwork more effective and innovative, not only in an e-science environment but also in team management, as knowledge flow networking can generate knowledge during operation.
