Abstract

Knowledge management (KM) is concerned with understanding, organizing, and
providing information. It is the study of how ideas, knowledge, and information are created, represented, communicated, and applied in a range of contexts. Evidence is defined as “information or signs indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid” (Hawker and Elliott 2005) and “data on which to base proof or to establish truth or falsehood, information etc., that gives reason for believing something” (Free Dictionary 2009). Evidence and KM are intertwined; neither exists in isolation. KM is the natural precursor for the provision of evidence, and evidence is similarly a natural product of KM. Issues with KM and the provision of evidence are becoming more frequently documented.
