Abstract

This article presents preliminary findings from an ongoing study of collaborative knowledge creation in the land change science (LCS) research community. Using observational data from two international workshops on LCS meta-study practice, we document the challenges to current approaches highlighting the need for direct interaction with case study authors. Results from the study are being used to enhance the meta-study process through GLOBE, new scientific cyberinfrastructure for users to share, compare, and synthesize local and regional data.
