There is always demands for more effective of knowledge management (KM) in order to optimize its use. Various efforts have been put forward in research into sound KM. Amongst those is the use of concept maps (CMs) to structure information into the graphical forms showing advantages in representing the relationships amongst illustrated entities. There are also practical applications that can speed up, as well as increase the power and usefulness of KM process. However, there still exists the gap among two fields. We believe that their strengths can be further exploited if they appear in a single tool. This tool will enable users to generate concept maps, to affix references to supporting evidence, and to interactively update the users' reference databases such as BibTeX or EndNote.
