Consideration on knowledge management for scientific research

This paper introduces a research program on theory and practice of technology creation based on knowledge science. The goal of this program is to create a world-class center of excellence in the following areas: (1) Theoretical Research: With a final target of strategic research and the development of scientific technologies, we will study knowledge fusion and development in important scientific fields, and then establish a theory of scientific knowledge creation. (2) Practical Research: As we develop theories, we will apply them in scientific laboratories and improve them by feedback from practice. Repeating this task, we will improve the theory and promote the creation of useful scientific technologies. At the same time, we will train graduate students in this environment, and teach them to become knowledge coordinators or knowledge creators. After introducing the new program, this paper introduces some concrete research activities and results that promote this program, which include the activities of identifying the main functions of the service systems for knowledge management in scientific labs, the framework of this service system, and a methodology for developing personal research roadmaps.
