Abstract
Environmental context Scientific knowledge is continuously built up based on research results, and relies on their efficient and accurate dissemination. Using antimony as an example, a system is proposed that combines ease of access with focussed reviews while keeping track of all published work. This system, termed BUKI (Building Up Knowledge Initiative) is a collaborative approach based on the combination of a web-based platform and the elaboration of systematic reviews. Abstract The increasing difficulties experienced by the scientific community in efficiently constructing knowledge from the flood of data being continuously produced are discussed and a concrete solution – a BUKI (Building Up Knowledge Initiative) – proposed for research on the environmental chemistry of antimony. A BUKI is a collaborative approach based on the combination of a web-based platform and the elaboration of systematic reviews. The antimony BUKI described here aims to improve our knowledge of antimony in environmental systems but also to stir up discussion about how research works nowadays and to provide a model for the development of other BUKIs.
