A Bibliometric Review from 2003 2022

Abstract

Research in the KM field has been a point of attraction for innovation and sustainability. The need for research and the effort by the researchers are important to be analysed to know the overall status of contributions and contributors. The purpose of this paper is to identify trends in Knowledge management research and forecast future trends through bibliometric analysis. The study also aims to identify the highest contribution of articles by the authors, the institutions, the journals, and the countries. Microsoft Excel and VOSViewer software were used for the analysis of the data extracted from the Scopus database for the period 2003–2022. It found Bontis. N. of Canada stood out as the highest contributing author in KM research; the Hong Kong Polytechnic University of China proved to be the top contributing institution in the field; the Journal of Knowledge Management ranks first amongst the most contributing journals in the field; and the United States was the highest contributing country. Furthermore, the study found four clusters based on the co-occurrence of keywords. “Artificial Intelligence,” “Big Data,” and “knowledge hiding” are the budding areas in the field.
