A "Science" Perspective by Assistant Professor James Evans and Post-doctural scholar Jacob Foster, both of the University of Chicago, argues that electronically-mined research may lead to future scientific breakthroughs. The computational production and consumption of metaknowledge--the knowledge about knowledge itself--can uncover potential biases inherent in research, as well as information on the backgrounds and previous work of researchers in order to learn more about content, implications and context.
