Collective intelligence and Knowledge Exploration (CI and KE) have been adopted to solve many problems. They are particularly used by companies as a support for innovation to efficiently obtain usable results. CI is usually defined as a group ability to perform consistently well across a wide variety of tasks, and it has to be combined with KD to ensure processes optimization, efficient management process, participative management, leadership, continuous teamwork, and so on. The importance of innovation grows the same way as the importance of mixing CI and KE, ensuring the successful exploitation of knowledge. Here, we present a quick review of current knowledge-oriented CI developments and applications. It aims at showing some observations about what's currently missing. Our editorial presents some recent interesting studies that we have gathered after a tight selection process. It also concludes by proposing avenue challenges to continue pushing CI and KE research forward, particularly regarding knowledge exploration.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
