When it comes to managing research literature searches, in the wise words of Douglas Adams, “don’t panic!” A novel, crowd-sourced concept called “knowledge domain visualization” involves a unique way of managing and organizing those sources. This is especially useful for those in research fields that are inter- and/or cross-disciplinary, when wrestling with information overload, or when you just don’t know where to start your search. Sometimes seeing your data in a different light can produce more effective results. Read this post on the LSE Public Policy’s Impact Blog to learn more.
