Developing new categories of knowledge acquisition, translation and dissemination by technological gatekeepers

作者:

Highlights:

• New categorisations were identified within each of the three phases of gatekeeper activity.

• External knowledge was acquired proactively and reactively under different circumstances.

• Knowledge was translated by gatekeepers in one of the three ways: in-use, rationale-ised ad tiered.

• Rationale-ised and tiered translations were disseminated electronically using a repository.

• Dissemination could occur without gatekeeper interaction and before the translation phase.
