GETTING STARTED: THE GOVERNING KNOWLEDGE COMMONS (GKC) FRAMEWORK
Here are excellent starting points for understanding the GKC research framework and getting started on GKC-themed research:
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF KNOWLEDGE COMMONS CASE STUDIES AND RELATED SCHOLARSHIP
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT INITIATIVE AND REPOSITORY OF KNOWLEDGE COMMONS SCHOLARSHIP
Researchers associated with the Workshop on Governing Knowledge Commons are building an open archive of research materials related to knowledge commons case studies, to help future researchers understand ongoing knowledge commons projects, help with meta-analysis, facilitate comparisons among cases, and improve the quality of knowledge commons research overall.
The archive is housed in the Illinois Data Bank and the IDEALS Institutional Repository at the University of Illinois.
Materials being collected and contributed include survey protocols, codebooks, interview transcripts, computational scripts, project papers and research results, network files, and figures.
To learn more about the Initiative, including how to contribute to it and how to access it, contact any of the four leaders of the Workshop.
