2. Aim of the study
• Identify the contribution of authors in the
domain of knowledge management
from two leading KM journals

• Identify intellectual turning points in KM

3. Bibliographic method
• Data was extracted from Thomson Reuters
Web of Science (WoS) 2009-2016 to perform
the following analyses:
– Contribution of authors identified by co-
citation network visualisations and network
metrics (14 422 authors being cited,1 023 123
citations)
– Key research themes identified by topic
modeling

11. Conclusions
• Contrasting the two, the topics were fairly similar
– Knowledge sharing and communities, and networks were more dominant topics
in JKM
– Intellectual capital, intangible assets and performance management more
dominant in JKM
• Interestingly, although topics were fairly similar, the most
authorative papers and corresponding authors were
totally different
• Limitation: Broader data sets (more journals included)
could reveal a more holistic picture
• Nevertheless, it is proposed that the methodology can
serve as a good introduction to any domain and support
in discovering research gaps and less discussed topics
in the literature
