Social networks and knowledge Networked social structures play an essential role in the creation of knowledge and its diffusion, what gives rise to the concept of knowledge networks. This research addresses the way in which networks as social structures and the social capital that derives from them influence all kinds of processes related to information and knowledge. Among other things, we study the influence of the position of various actors in the social network on their ability to generate or transfer knowledge. We also examine the role of new social media platforms and tools based on the use of online social networks as facilitators in the creation and transmission of knowledge. |

New forms of creation, transfer, and dissemination of scientific knowledge The objective of this research is the study of various processes related to scientific knowledge. It covers topics such as the mechanisms of generation and transmission of knowledge in big international scientific projects (big science), the use of information technology and communication in science (e-research) and processes of communication and dissemination of scientific research, including digital repositories, scientific journals and academic conferences, impact factors and open access. We also study the transfer of scientific knowledge to society and its role in innovation processes. |

Competitive and territorial intelligence Competitive intelligence can be defined as the study of the process of gathering, transmission, analysis and diffusion of relevant information obtained from publicly available and ethically and legally obtained, as a means to produce knowledge in action. In this line of research we explore several aspects of the use of competitive intelligence in companies and public institutions, and also in promoting the development of territories and regions, what is known as territorial intelligence. |

Data as a source of knowledge The recent big data hype has emphasized data analysis as one of the main sources of knowledge generation in our society. Of course, the idea of data as a fundamental element for the existence of knowledge is not new. But the possibility of acquiring and analyzing large amounts of data from varied sources at high speed has become possible only lately in many areas. In this research we explore the effect of new trends like big data or open data on the new forms of knowledge generation, management, and transfer. |
