Abstract
Researchers of scholarly communication have often suggested that scientists publish their research findings in academic journals to maximize knowledge creation. However, as the size of journals has increased, investigating the factors affecting the value of such knowledge creation becomes both more difficult and more important. Therefore, this article aims to explore the factors that affect the value of the knowledge created through journal publishing by individual scientists and by research groups. The study surveyed data from an online citation database that includes 160 authors and 4525 articles. The results of this survey show that single authors' knowledge and previous publishing performance play an important role in the value of the knowledge created. Research productivity and publishing work experience on the part of co-authors increase the value of the knowledge created by research. Thus, this study is important in explaining which factors affect knowledge creation.
