16 Abstract This paper discuss the role of research institutions and technologies for sharing scientific knowledge from research institutions, universities and research groups, to society. Thus, this research can be classified as exploratory bibliographic and documentary. The study demonstrates the importance of research groups and universities to place themselves as disseminators of knowledge, highlighting their roles as developers and decoders of knowledge. In this way, technology has the capacity to change the way institutions create, organize and disseminate their knowledge. For this, the study identified 16 methods or techniques of knowledge management based on information and communication technologies, and more than 40 tools that can fulfill and assist the proposed by these methods.
