Issue No.1 Jan-Mar 2018

knowledge management quarterly editorial board Issue No. 1 (Jan - Mar) 2018 The Open Access movement began in 2002 with the setting up of the Budapest Open Access Initiative by a group of international scholars who were keen to allow unrestricted access to journal literature for the public good. This type of access allows the free exchange of knowledge and resources to widen its impact and to encourage creativity. Open access publishing models continue to successfully transcend traditional modes of publishing, from one where there is a cost involved in accessing the research, to one that allows freer access. In this way, research is being made accessible to all to read, or to reuse, with libraries once again, playing a leading role in transforming the communities it serves in many different ways.

Global Knowledge Visibility 2030 (GKV30) is a project initiatied by Knowledge Management Unit, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) in January 2018. The objective of this project is to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a set of 17 SDGs, covering social and economic development issues including poverty, climate change, social justice and education throughout the world. The purpose of SDGs is recognised in the formal title 'Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development'. Libraries and librarians have been a part of the post-2015 UN development agenda from the start, as reflected in the Lyon Declaration on Access to Information and Development released by the International Federation for Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) in 2014. The Declaration enshrined the idea that “access to information supports development by empowering people”. GKV30 focuses on establishing international partnerships through collaborations while making the university's scholarly outputs more visible. GKV30 focuses on three main areas, which are Open Access, Research Tracking and Research Data Aggregator. collaboration Evolution in KNOWLEDGE ... from page 1 Stay right up-to-date with everything going on in the Knowledge Management world.

Brought to you by Knowledge Management Unit, KMU, UTP Open Access - As part of the research strategy, the university has identified open access as an important way to draw attention to its research output. The library plays a vital role in this effort. Open access is the provision of free access to peer-reviewed scholarly and academic literature, enabling researchers anywhere to access the materials. The major channel for Open Access is publishing in open access journals and depositing scholarly materials in institutional repositories. Research Data Aggregator - Tools are developed to help the university in aggregating research information, such as citations, impact factors, authorship and affiliations from numerous sources. This ensures data that drives strategic decisions are trustworthy, comprehensive and accessible in real time. Research Tracking - Bibliometrics are used to quantitatively track research usage and sharing through citations, while altmetrics qualitatively analyse data that are complementary to tradional, citation-based metrics. Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), and Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) are members of the GKV30 consortium. The project is expected to develop and produce a single platform (myScholar) of research data management, research aggregator and tracking system that will cater for research dissemination and marketing purposes. It is my pleasure and great privilege to present to you the introductory issue of KM Quarterly, the official newsletter of the knowledge management (KM) practice in UTP. This new publication promises to make a significant impact in the field of knowledge management, data publication, project management and business improvement process for the benefit of the university and its community The aim of KM Quarterly is to provide a forum for the dissemination of original research articles as well as review articles in all areas related to knowledge management, digitalization, records management, preservation, and content sharing. It focuses on cutting-edge findings in these rapidly changing field while providing practical up-to-date information on the latest technology in knowledge management Editor in Chief, M Azminuddin Affandi KM Quarterly features a distinguished editorial board, which brings together a team of highly experienced specialists and invited writers and columnist in KM practice and research. With their diverse experiences and willingness to share a broad spectrum of KM subjects, it is hope that they will aspire the present as well as the future generation of the University community. Last but not least, my highest appreciation to all parties involved in the making of KM Quarterly and hope that this newsletter will continue to be a platform for the sharing of knowledge. In this University. And, as we all know, knowledge is power, but sharing of knowledge is much more powerful. Editor-in-chief a message from To design and integrate web-based research e-portfolio and personal academic website in managing, disseminating and sharing UTP scholarly works including publications, intellectual assets and research outputs. To enhance the global community’s ability to access Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) publications and research outputs (where copyright allows). To increase the visibility of UTP research outputs and scholars Governance – Streamlining local universities' understanding on copyright and Intellectual Property rights for thesis and research publications Research Data Management – Provide the infrastructure that supports the organisation of research data in accordance to conventional accreditation and qualification guidelines, such as MyRA, QS, THE, SETARA Digital Library Solution – Provide solutions and platform to access integrated publications among universities in a consortium. The platform gateway.utp.edu.my is the gateway to enable access to research publications in the university Single platform – to develop one single platform that is shared by all universities and agencies to access, analyse research outcomes, while making them visible to the consortium 03 FOCUS OUTCOME 01 STRATEGY 04 02 comprehensive training programs focused on knowledge management best practices, user adoption, and success measurement. This pioneering curricula – continually refined to embrace the latest research and approaches, with dedicated tracks for both technical and non-technical teams - proved highly-successful. Recently, I’ve been speaking at several conferences on Intranet and Enterprise Search. Some of them were SharePoint conferences, some were technology independent. But regardless of the audience or the main focus, each of these events had one thing in common: Enterprise Search has been a hot topic. More and more. Seeing this growth and evolution is great – but there’s even more there. It’s more and more apparent that the traditional Search Applications (“10 blue lines” or “Google-like search in the enterprise”) are not way to the future. Here are the main reasons I can see today: Information Overload: Enterprise Search might be an excellent way to get good findability and discovery of information, but it gets harder and harder, due to the complex and enormous amount of content. Finding a needle in the haystack gets harder and harder Big Data: Volume, variety and velocity of the data we have to process also needs new approaches. Big Data tools are getting used in more and more scenarios Business Intelligence: Analyzing and visualizing data is essential in order to help quick decision making Social: It’s not a question – social features also get more and more important. We have to provide features for collaboration and knowledge sharing. In the bigger picture, these features have to be the part of our Knowledge Management and Search (or even better Findability) Strategy The direction is obvious: the “new wave” will be a strong synergy between Search, Social, Big Data and Business Intelligence. I even expect some new concepts in this field that support these strong integrations. Agnes Molnar is the CEO and managing consultant of Search Explained.
