Landscape of knowledge sciences in JASIST

Abstract

This poster describes a research project in progress to map the historical and current published and grey literature of the field of knowledge management/knowledge sciences. The research describes the mapping of 11,820 JASIS papers to the landscape of knowledge sciences. The mapping is grounded on the automated classification and automated indexing of the individual papers leveraging a semantic profile and the SAS Content Categorization Suite. The semantic profile was created from the knowledge sciences classification scheme and thesaurus developed by Bedford (2015). The results suggest that JASIS papers and the research being published by ASIST members have some alignment with the field of knowledge sciences. The research is concentrated in three primary facets, including (1) Knowledge Asset Management; (2) Knowledge Technologies; and (3) Communities and Collaboration. Within these three facets there are clear pockets of concentration. The results further suggest that the research methodology can be applied to other sources.

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

“…Note that one of the newly discovered papers that was omitted by Serenko (2013) (Torugsa and O'Donohue, 2016), the role of library and information science (LIS) in KM (Agarwal and Islam, 2018), KM in franchising (Iddy and Alon, 2019), process capital (Matthies, 2014), knowledge commercialization (Biranvand et al, 2017), and knowledge sharing, exchange and transfer (Chou and Tang, 2014). In total, 11% of studies were conducted in the context of a single journal or conference (Barik and Jena, 2013) using both KM and non-KM outlets (Bedford and Bekbalaeva, 2018;Potgieter, 2018). A smaller fraction of the projects (3%) was done in the context of specific countries or regions, e.g.…”
