Table 5 Mechanisms to support and optimize KTT deducted TC: (a) education and training, (b) open access, (c) standards, (d) easing of interdisciplinary exchange
From: Knowledge and technology transfer in and beyond mineral exploration
TC | SC | FQ | Exemplary statement |
|---|---|---|---|
a | Multidisciplinary mentors | 3 | “Every junior geoscientist with one or two mentors from completely different places.” (I) “Experts familiar with both literature help with instrumentation and algorithms.” (R) |
b | Open access | 3 | “Basic codes need to be published and shared with the community as baselines for new approaches and improvements. (R) “The data need to be opened that people can work on it and provide new insights.” (R) |
c | Institutional support | 2 | “Institutes that look at the economic, the physical, the chemical, the biological, the cultural aspects are multipliers.” (I) |
Structured keywords | 2 | “Allowing the publications to have more keywords than other papers. There is this tremendous amount of material being published. [.] which would allow people from outside of your discipline to get a sense of not only which field your publication is in, but also which techniques, including mathematical techniques, are being used in this discipline that can be applied in another discipline.” (R) | |
Common standards | 3 | “There are different rules in each country. All countries should accept the minimum level of exchange knowledge especially in the targets concerning life of people (e.g., economy, health, education, traveling, free-opinion).” (R) | |
d | Multidisciplinary platforms | 4 | “Sharing knowledge through a public platform where users can learn, replicate, and contribute to. A real interactive place you can spend time and navigate, contribute, ask questions, and download the data.” (I) |
Promotion | 2 | “Publicity. Knowledge increases motivation.”(R) | |
Software | 1 | “A machine learning script that would be able to get keywords out of thousands of different abstracts from different scientific databases. The script strolls through thousands of different abstracts and highlights a couple dozen, which may potentially be interesting in your interdisciplinary research that could potentially work.” (R) |
