Abstract: Collaborative information retrieval is an area of increasing interest. However, the wider sensemaking context in which it occurs is understudied. Furthermore, the role of users’ beliefs about the domain they are querying, its structure, stability, complexity, and justifications – their epistemic beliefs – has been little studied in either individual or collaborative IR software development contexts. Here we discuss a tool to combine the knowledge mapping tool Cohere, with reference management capabilities through which the iterative, epistemically germane, potentially (but not necessarily) collaborative IR process may be ‘brought out’ both for sensemaking, and research purposes.
