New Call for Papers: Breaking the boundaries to knowledge integration: society meets science within knowledge management for development
Dear All
We are looking for contributions for the September 2013 issue of the KM4D Journal. The link to the Call for Papers is here: KM4DJ_call_for_papers%20September%202013.pdf
We are looking for contributions on:
- Knowledge integration and co-creation:
- Knowledge production in ‘non-traditional’ knowledge institutions, such as consultancy firms, think tanks and NGOs;
- Knowledge production by citizens and civic organisations looking to build counter-expertise;
- Joint processes initiated by non-academia (government, industry, public, NGOs) or scientists;
- Integration of multiple knowledges linked to the perspectives and roles of the various stakeholders: individual knowledge, local specialised knowledge, organisational knowledge and holistic knowledge (Brown 2011). This is by no means easy because of the different frames of reference and differences in opinion. Some stakeholders’ knowledge will be implicit, neither written down (codified) nor put into words;
- Participation of stakeholders in the process and in the design of the solution.
- Combination of methods which take into account the complexity of the system such as actor analysis, causal analysis, and system analysis;
- Encouragement of mutual learning in focus groups, round tables, expert sessions, stakeholder dialogues etc.
- Contributions focusing on local scientific, cultural and political practices.
The Guest Editors team who will be working with me on this issue comprise: Valerie Brown, Sebastiao Ferreira, Wenny Ho, Barbara Regeer and Marjolein Zweekhorst.
Submission deadlines are as follows:
Submission deadline for the title and abstract 15 April 2013
Acceptance of paper proposal 30 April 2013
Submission of full paper 15 June 2013
Peer-review completed 31 June2013
Final version of paper submitted 31 July 2013
Publication date 1 September 2013
Please send your submissions and questions to special_issue@dgroups.org
Regards
Sarah

Thanks, Ewen. The person inquiring wants copies of Part 1 and Part two of the communities and networks articles I did. And silly me, I never keep author copies ... nor even track what I write. This may be a lesson!!!

Nancy,
No, it should be free. All T&F copies become freely available after 3 years. I'll email you the articles from that issue if you want.
Sarah - could you check with T&F please - or highlight us on this case?
Cheers,
Ewen

Hiya -- I just got a request for an article from the Sept 2010 issue. I saw from above it was free, but upon checking, it is not free. Was that temporarily free? Thanks

@Liah - if you still need articles on KM in hospitals, I suggest visiting APQC.org and requesting that info - Ron Webb has a goodly amount of free material in addition to their subscription-based information services.

This page says "also where we also have discussions of articles."
Suggestion: maybe we should make the discussions more prominent. Not sure how to do that. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Should we start a next article discussion once we made these discussions more prominent? Let us know here on the Comment Wall.

Sarah, maybe you should update the box containing the information about
"September 2010 issue of the KM4D Journal is currently free online " ?

Thanks Melissa for taking the facilitation lead here! I suggest that now it is time to move over to the article page.
We may have to use a calendar (as in event on this Ning?) to clearly indicate what we have decided in terms of:
1. start reading till reading deadline xyz
2. deadline xyz is start of discussion, though I'd say if people with to contribute earlier that is fine too
3. a pre-announced deadline for the end of the "official" conversation, though of course, noone can be stopped to keep contributing
4. if it makes sense: a pre-announced date on which a summary of the conversation will be posted: where? Here seems to make sense, or archived in a KM4Dev journal conversations repository on the KM4Dev wiki?

Summarizing the threads below, here is how I understand how this first conversation will emerge:
1. As people read the article please feel free to post your initial reactions on the page where the article is posted (under the resources section above click the article title and post comments on that web page's comment wall). For example, I will post why I chose this article, as Sarah suggested.
2. Starting 4 April, I will synthesize people's initial reactions and pose a question that will start off our discussion.
3. How long should our conversation "officially" last? I suggest 2 weeks-1 month, in order to accommodate those who travel frequently who may be interested in participating.
