Meta-analysis of scientometric research of knowledge management: discovering the identity of the discipline

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to conduct a meta-analysis of prior scientometric research of the knowledge management (KM) field. Design/methodology/approach – A total of 108 scientometric studies of the KM discipline were subjected to meta-analysis techniques. Findings – The overall volume of scientometric KM works has been growing, reaching up to ten publications per year by 2012, but their key findings are somewhat inconsistent. Most scientometric KM research is published in non-KM-centric journals. The KM discipline has deep historical roots. It suffers from a high degree of over-differentiation and is represented by dissimilar research streams. The top six most productive countries for KM research are the USA, the UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, and Spain. KM exhibits attributes of a healthy academic domain with no apparent anomalies and is progressing towards academic maturity. Practical implications – Scientometric KM researchers should use advanced empirical methods, become aware of prior ...
