This document discusses using open science tools like Open Knowledge Maps to efficiently research topics and get an overview of fields. It encourages attendees to try out the tools in groups by selecting an unfamiliar research topic. Open Knowledge Maps aims to help people outside of academia discover research by separating important concepts and providing overviews through open content in an online mapping tool. The future sections outlines plans to continue developing the mapping platform and resources.
