Currently there are so many research papers available on the internet and it can be difficult to find the right information. I just love the way how Open Knowledge Maps make it easy for the users to search and retrieve academic information. I have recommended Open Knowledge Maps to students at my university and overall they are happy with the performance.

One of the tedious tasks when conducting research is sifting through thousands of papers to get relevant articles. Open Knowledge Maps has a fantastic feature of grouping papers with similar concepts together. OKMaps promotes social justice as it facilitates free access to research to the public which advances a greater global exchange of knowledge. As a Librarian, I have included OKMaps in my portfolio of research support tools for researchers.

Sin colaboración, en estos tiempos de exceso de información, enlentecerá la generación de nuevo conocimiento, y es allí donde OKMaps nos ayuda a ordenar y estructurar nuestros intereses.

OKMaps is a convenient tool to navigate your way through the jungle of scientific publications. Using publication metadata smartly, OKMaps gives you an overview of the most common concepts in the field of your research.
