Research Knowledge production is the result from knowledge processes that happen at diverse networks spaces. Those spaces are supported by a cascade of systems (Data Management Systems, Information Management Systems, Knowledge Management Systems, Evaluation Systems and Monitoring Systems) that must be aligned to avoid formation of silos and barriers to the flows of information and knowledge. The energy that powers consists of the people and their connections; so there is crucial to understand and govern formal and informal networks. By take a holistic approach, we propose to join benefits of an efficient knowledge management with the implementation of knowledge governance mechanisms in order to improve Research Knowledge production and its impacts.
