Digital Wisdom in Research Work
Digital Wisdom in Research Work

Summary/Abstract: Purpose/Thesis: The article focuses on digital wisdom, defined by Marc Prensky as the ability to use modern computer technology wisely to improve thinking and decision-making and to better share the results of research. The aim of this article is to present some of the digital tools that increase the efficiency of scientific research and facilitate conceptual work, information retrieval, note-taking and writing up of research. Approach/Methods: The research process comprised several stages, each of which focused on a specific tool that directly increases work efficiency and performs functions beyond human capabilities. Results and conclusions: The latest digital tools are equipped with features that increase efficiency at all stages of the research process. They speed up the completion of a task (e.g. searching for information) and illuminate the relationships between documents or individual concepts that researchers themselves would not register (e.g. through the visualization of data and information). Originality/Value: The skillful use of modern digital tools is a fundamental element of digital wisdom as computer programs and Web applications significantly broaden human perception and cognitive capabilities.
