Major trends in knowledge management research: a bibliometric study
Abstract
This study provides an overview of the knowledge management literature
from 1980 through 2014. We employ bibliometric and text mining analyses
on a sample of 500 most cited articles to examine the impact of factors
such as number of authors, references, pages, and keywords on the number
of citations that they received. We also investigate major trends in
knowledge management literature including the contribution of different
countries, variations across publication years, and identifying active
research areas and major journal outlets. Our study serves as a resource
for future studies by shedding light on how trends in knowledge
management research have evolved over time and demonstrating the
characteristics of the most cited articles in this literature.
Specifically, our results reveal that the most cited articles are from
United States and United Kingdom. The most prolific year in terms of the
number of published articles is 2009 and in terms of the number of
citations is 2012. We also found a positive relationship between the
number of publications’ keywords, references, and pages and the number
of citations that they have received. Finally, the Journal of Knowledge
Management has the largest share in publishing the most cited articles
in this field.
