Each one of us developed his own knowledge structure. After graduation we followed different research interests, took different projects, and adopted different approaches, analytical, numerical, or experimental. Therefore the knowledge structure is unique for every person, coming from his/her education background and scientific experiences.
</p>
<p>
There are several levels for the overlapping in our knowledge structure.
</p>
<ul><li>Level 1: for people of the same interests, or from the same research group, or even further with collaborations of many years, overlapping in this catagory is high.</li>
<li>Level 2: for mechanicians coming from different corners of mechanics, we basically share the same common knowledge on the undergraduate level.</li>
<li>Level 3: for those people from different backgrounds, such as physics, geophysics, chemistry, biology, etc., the overlapping level in our knowledge structure is even lower than an undergraduate level.</li>
</ul><p>
For most people in iMechanica, I believe our knowledge structure overlapping level are at the Level 2.
</p>
<p>
The level of the knowledge structure overlapping affects the depth of a discussion. For frontier the discussion, there are lesser overlaps and therefore fewer comments. Scientific communications follow this pattern, and we repeatedly observed this phenomenon in iMechanica.
</p>
<p>
Further to the issue of involving undergraduate students in iMechanica, basically I think they feel the same as most of us (Level 2) do in reading other people’s posts, except that they have very little research experiences.
