Scientific Initiative: Information Management

The Information Management library guide is a subset of the Literature Informatics library guide. This guide lists starting information resources and tools for analysis and critical appraisal of information resources to enhance a scientific inquiry and accelerate scientific discoveries.

Information management is a process supporting scientist's research and learning characterized by identifying information and information sources, gathering, classifying, storing,  and processing information (e.g., scholarly publications), evaluating, and critically appraising information and information sources to create scientific knowledge, share, and use scientific information and knowledge.
