N1 - Funding Information:
Sílvia Bessa is a Research Program Manager in the Network Research team at Protocol Labs, where she designs new mechanisms to incentivise and accelerate research to build public goods. She’s a strong believer that community-driven research is the best-known way to protect humanity’s knowledge from individual interests. Her past research applied computer vision and machine learning to breast cancer imaging, funded by national and European Programs, and in close collaboration with the Portuguese National League Against Cancer and Champalimaud Foundation.
Funding Information:
Karola Kirsanow is a Research Program Manager at Protocol Labs, an open-source research, development, and deployment lab creating new internet technologies. There she leads a team that builds research public goods, identifying and supporting high-impact research projects in the distributed systems space and designing experiments to align researchers and research funders. Her previous research background is in human evolutionary biology and palaeogenetics, including work funded by the Leakey Foundation and the European FP7 framework programme.
Funding Information:
Joel Chan is an Assistant Professor in the University of Maryland’s College of Information Studies. His research investigates systems that support creative knowledge work, such as scientific discovery and innovative design. His recent work focuses on studies of scientific thinking (including their synthesis practices), and tools for searching and synthesizing scientific literature. His research has received funding from the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the Institute for Museum and Library Sciences, Adobe Research, and Protocol Labs.
Funding Information:
Jodi Schneider is an Associate Professor at the School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she runs the Information Quality Lab. She studies the science of science through the lens of arguments, evidence, and persuasion with a special interest in controversies in science. Her recent work has focused on systematic review automation, semantic publication, and the citation of retracted papers. She has held research positions across the U.S. as well as in Ireland, England, France, and Chile. Her work has been funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the European Commission, IMLS, NIH, Science Foundation Ireland, and an NSF CAREER award.

N2 - Sharing, reuse, and synthesis of knowledge is central to the research process. These core functions are in theory served by the system of monographs, abstracts, and papers in journals and proceedings, with citation indices and search databases that comprise the core of our formal scholarly communication infrastructure; yet, converging lines of empirical and anecdotal evidence suggest that this system does not adequately act as infrastructure for synthesis. Emerging developments in new institutions for science, along with new technical infrastructures and tooling for decentralized knowledge work, offer new opportunities to prototype new technical infrastructures on top of a different installed base than the publish or perish, neoliberal academy. This workshop aims to integrate these developments and communities with CSCW's deep roots in knowledge infrastructures and collaborative and distributed sensemaking, with new developments in science institutions and tooling, to stimulate and accelerate progress towards prototyping new scholarly communication infrastructures that are actually optimized for sharing, reusing, and synthesizing knowledge.
