Therefore, to understand the intellectual structure of knowledge management research, this study aims to examine the thematic patterns and evolution of research in JKM.Design/methodology/approachUsing bibliographic coupling analysis, this study analyzes and maps the intellectual structure of the research published in JKM from 1977 to 2021. It also presents the trends among methodological choices of JKM authors. The study also explores the major components of JKM’s impact, wherein a negative binomial regression analysis is used to uncover the major factors influencing the journal’s citations.FindingsThe findings suggest that the intellectual structure of JKM broadly consists of four major themes: antecedents and consequences of knowledge management, innovation and knowledge management, complexities in knowledge management and firm performance, and knowledge sharing in knowledge management. The findings also reveal the drivers of citations for JKM through the universalism (article order, open access), social constructivism (European and FT100 institution affiliation, references, funding) and presentation (tables, models, appendices, article age) perspectives.Practical implicationsThis inclusive overview of JKM will provide useful insights for its editorial board, readers and scholars to chart the ways forward for JKM and the future of knowledge management.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first of its kind to identify the factors that contribute to JKM's impact from a citation perspective.

Practical wisdom, the (not so) secret ingredient for responsible knowledge management

PurposeThis paper aims to stress the importance of practical wisdom (phronesis) for the knowledge management field. It is a relevant intellectual and ethical resource for responding to recent changes in the business environment and for responsibly and sustainably aligning organizations for the future. Organizations must find ways to reconcile social, environmental and economic goals and meet different and conflicting stakeholder needs. To this end, the authors challenge knowledge management researchers to feature practical wisdom as an enabler for responsible knowledge management built on solid ethical foundations.Design/methodology/approachThe authors introduce the concept of phronesis, reaching from Aristotle’s The Nicomachean Ethics to Nonaka and Takeuchi’s The Wise Company. Based on a systematic review of the literature, the authors performed a bibliometric analysis. Moreover, the authors discuss the findings and offer avenues for future research.FindingsThe results provide an overview of the research on phronesis in the knowledge management field. It points out the leading articles and journals (e.g. Journal of Business Ethics and Journal of Knowledge Management). Likewise, it identifies thematic areas, i.e. knowledge management field, knowledge dynamics, organizational wisdom, leadership and followership, corporate social responsibility and red flags.Originality/valueIn this essay, the authors advise practical wisdom as a promising candidate for advancing the field of knowledge management towards responsible knowledge management. To pursue this, the authors propose to address instability and continuous change through practical wisdom and outline a research agenda to guide further research.

The USA, China and Australia were the most productive countries in terms of the total number of citations and foreign collaborations. Journal of Knowledge Management, Knowledge Management Research and Practice, VINE Journal of Information and Knowledge Management and International Journal of Technology Management are the top outlets in the knowledge management literature.Originality/valueOver the past decade, the research on knowledge management construct has exploded because of the growing interest of researchers and practitioners in the field. Despite being a well-developed field, few studies have applied bibliometric analysis in the knowledge management literature. The study is more comprehensive in terms of the actors and methods involved in analyzing the scientific production of articles in the area of knowledge management.

Digital Human Resources: Proposed Model

Digital human resources and knowledge management are two terms that have been in common use in recent times due to their importance to organizations. Because of the use of the words talent and knowledge that are similar in meaning, people get confused between the two terms but in fact they are different concepts that are applied in different contexts. There are many differences between digital human resources and knowledge management, which will be highlighted in this paper, in addition to suggesting a digital human resources model that organizations can guide when starting to implement the concept of on-line human resources management.

Global ranking of knowledge management and intellectual capital academic journals: a 2021 update

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to update a global ranking list of 28 knowledge management and intellectual capital (KM/IC) academic journals. The list should be periodically updated because the pool of active KM/IC researchers changes, researchers adjust their journal perceptions, citation indices change and new journals appear while others become discontinued.Design/methodology/approachThe ranking list was created based on a survey of 463 active KM/IC researchers and journal citation impact metrics (the h-index and the g-index).FindingsJournal of Knowledge Management and Journal of Intellectual Capital are ranked A+, followed by The Learning Organization, Knowledge Management Research & Practice, VINE: The Journal of Information and Knowledge Management Systems, Knowledge and Process Management and International Journal of Knowledge Management which are ranked A. VINE, Electronic Journal of Knowledge Management and Online Journal of Applied Knowledge Management have shown the most improvement. The recently established Journal of Innovation & Knowledge has demonstrated a strong performance.Practical implicationsKM/IC discipline stakeholders may consult and use the ranking list for various purposes, but they should do so with caution. Highly ranked journals are quite likely to have the Clarivate’s Journal Impact Factor or be included in the Clarivate’s Emerging Sources Citation Index. A journal’s longevity is strongly correlated with its citation metrics and is moderately correlated with expert survey scores. Interdisciplinarity is the natural state of the KM and IC research domains, and it should be embraced by the research community.Originality/valueThis study presents the most up-to-date ranking list of KM/IC academic journals.

Bibliometric analysis of the VINE Journal of Information and Knowledge Management Systems: 2000–2020

PurposeVINE Journal of Information and Knowledge Management Systems (VJIKMS) is one of the oldest and leading journals in the knowledge management (KM) field. The purpose of this study is to conduct bibliometrics analysis of publications published in VJIKMS for the past two decades. For doing this, this paper covered the past two decades of publications and carried out a science mapping analysis of publications.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology included bibliometrics and the science mapping analysis process. This paper imported the bibliographic information of VJIKMS from the abstract and citation database Scopus. Through bibliometrics method, this paper examined the citation results, author productivity, authorship pattern, research collaboration and other parameters of the selected publications. Afterward, this paper used VOSviewer software to carry out the science mapping of bibliometric networks.FindingsThe findings showed that VJIKMS published 718 publications during 2000–2020, which got cited 4,311 times (6 times per article) till date. Joint authorship and international collaboration have been increasing where 1,417 authors from 66 countries have published. The USA, the UK and Iran lead the KM publications in this journal. Nonaka’s publications and Journal of Knowledge Management (JKM) are highly cited references and journals in the VJIKMS.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of this study would help the KM students, researchers and practitioners to see the diffusion of KM globally, what are the promising areas to work and helps to know the various patterns of publications if they aim to publish in VJIKMS.Originality/valueThis is the first time a bibliometric analysis has been conducted to analysis of research publications published in VJIKMS. This presents a comprehensive analysis of publications between 2000 and 2020.

A structured literature review of scientometric research of the knowledge management discipline: a 2021 update

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to conduct a structured literature review of scientometric research of the knowledge management (KM) discipline for the 2012–2019 time period.Design/methodology/approachA total of 175 scientometric studies of the KM discipline were identified and analyzed.FindingsScientometric KM research has entered the maturity stage: its volume has been growing, reaching six publications per month in 2019. Scientometric KM research has become highly specialized, which explains many inconsistent findings, and the interests of scientometric KM researchers and their preferred inquiry methods have changed over time. There is a dangerous trend toward a monopoly of the scholarly publishing market which affects researchers’ behavior. To create a list of keywords for database searches, scientometric KM scholars should rely on the formal KM keyword classification schemes, and KM-centric peer-reviewed journals should continue welcoming manuscripts on scientometric topics.Practical implicationsStakeholders should realize that the KM discipline may successfully exist as a cluster of divergent schools of thought under an overarching KM umbrella and that the notion of intradisciplinary cohesion and consistency should be abandoned. Journal of Knowledge Management is unanimously recognized as a leading KM journal, but KM researchers should not limit their focus to the body of knowledge documented in the KM-centric publication forums. The top six most productive countries are the USA, the UK, Taiwan, Canada, Australia and China. There is a need for knowledge brokers that may deliver the KM academic body of knowledge to practitioners.Originality/valueThis is the most comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of the KM discipline.

A Brief Summary of Knowledge Management Domain: 10-Year History of the Journal of Knowledge Management

Understanding the knowledge and managing its assets effectively offer various advantages for organizations which lift them to the horizon of success. Since knowledge management (KM) is still regarded as an “embryonic”, it is vital to find out KM patterns which would be helpful for both practitioners and academics. This descriptive study aims to offer a general review of KM literature. To do so, 637 articles published in Journal of Knowledge Management (JKM) have been analyzed based on their keywords, titles, number of citations and pages. The data obtained from Web of Science has been analyzed by Wordstat, “a” text mining software, in order to uncover the main knowledge management themes. Our results have showed that KM should be evaluated as a scientific field rather than a management fad. As also suggested in the literature, we have found a significant contribution of KM to the industry, since the “case study” appears as one of the most frequently repeated one among 3144 keywords. We have also found an unexpected result that appears significant negative correlation between the number of publications’ pages, and citations. The research is expected to provide insights academics and practitioners interested in KM field.

Network level knowledge sharing: Leveraging Riege’s model of knowledge barriers

ABSTRACTThis paper identifies the key knowledge barriers typical for inter-organisational relationships and networks. Riege’s well-known model of knowledge barriers classifies barriers as individual, organisational and technological level hindrances, but leaves out the network level in particular. Based on a review of the top five knowledge management journals, this paper leverages Riege’s model to apply it at the network level. The added network-level barriers are geographical distance, cognitive proximity, strength of relationship and lack of intermediator. The literature review also revealed knowledge-specific barriers, i.e., ambiguity, complexity, stickiness, tacitness and knowledge protection, as the critical knowledge barriers in inter-organisational co-operations. By revealing the typical knowledge barriers at the network level, this paper develops knowledge management practices for networks. Managers responsible for network development and management in general need such practices, as knowledge sharing has been recognised as a key source of competitiveness and simultaneously one of the main challenges faced in networks.

Visualizing the Academic Discipline of Knowledge Management

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the research status of knowledge management (KM) and identify the characteristics of KM in the literature. We selected and studied in detail 7628 original research articles from the Web of Science from 1974 to 2017. Although many studies have contributed to the evolution of the KM domain, our results showed that a comprehensive bibliometric and visualization investigation was required. The literature on KM has grown rapidly since the 1970s. The United States of America, as the original contributing country, has also internationally collaborated the most in this field of study. The National Cheng Kung University has made the highest number of contributions. The majority of authors contributed a small number of publications. Additionally, the most common category in KM research was management. The main publications for KM research include Journal of Knowledge Management, and Knowledge Management Research & Practice. A keywords analysis determined that “knowledge sharing”, “innovation”, “ontology”, and “knowledge management” were consistent hotspots in knowledge management research. Through a document co-citation analysis, the intellectual structures of knowledge management were defined, and four emerging trends were identified that focus on new phenomenon, the practice of knowledge management, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) management based on knowledge perspective, innovation and performance, and big data-enabled KM. We also provide eight research questions for future studies. Our results will benefit academics, researchers, and research students who want to rapidly obtain an overview of knowledge management research. This study can also be a starting point for communication between academics and practitioners.

Global ranking of knowledge management and intellectual capital academic journals: 2017 update

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to update a global ranking of 27 knowledge management and intellectual capital (KM/IC) academic journals.Design/methodology/approachThe ranking was developed based on a combination of results from a survey of 482 active KM/IC researchers and journal citation impact indices.FindingsThe ranking list includes 27 currently active KM/IC journals. The A+ journals are the Journal of Knowledge Management and the Journal of Intellectual Capital. The A journals are the Learning Organization, Knowledge Management Research & Practice, Knowledge and Process Management, VINE: The Journal of Information and Knowledge Management Systems and International Journal of Knowledge Management.
