Accumulation of information is essential for human knowledge production, and information technology has accelerated the speed of data accumulation. The increase in quantity of information with high speed does not promise highquality knowledge production and possibly does cause problems. One big problem is lack of storage for such big data. Another critical problem in information usage is information overload, that is, deterioration of productivity by too much information. Decision accuracy decrease with amount of information beyond a certain point while it increases at the beginning. We introduce an approach for solution of these problems with an example of research along the approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
