Purpose This paper aims to map the knowledge management research in small businesses and suggest future actions to strengthen managerial practices. Knowledge management practices foster the growth of small businesses. They allow innovation to grow within the institutions, enhance customer satisfaction and reduce employee absenteeism and attrition. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts a bibliometric protocol to retrieve the 686 articles published in the Web of Science (WoS) database. The WoS database is selected to ensure only quality and peer-reviewed publications are analysed in the study. It then identifies the top contributions, and existing thematic areas, and suggests future research and policy actions for boosting economic growth through small business. The study uses VOSviewer, Science of Science (Sci2) and Gephi to conduct the bibliometric and network analysis. Findings The results from keyword co-occurrence and co-citation analysis helps in identifying thematic areas. The findings highlight that there exist five major themes in knowledge management research for small businesses. The dynamic co-citation analysis helps in tracing the evolution of these clusters and suggests future themes, research directions and methodological advances in the theme. PageRank analysis helps in identifying the top articles published on high-impact journals in the theme. Research limitations/implications The study helps researchers by summarising existing literature and identifying key thematic areas. It also assists policymakers by recommending actions to improve knowledge management practises in small businesses to gain a competitive advantage. The paper suffers from the limitations of bibliometric analysis. The sample is collected from a single data source and a single type (journal articles) and the statistical accuracy of the analysis depends on the quality of the sample. Originality/value The study’s originality lies in using fit-for-purpose software in clustering the research and suggesting actions. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of its kind in applying bibliometrics in studying and covering several aspects of knowledge management in small businesses with a combination of software.

“…However, there has not been much attention paid to synthesizing the existing literature for the benefit of researchers and industry practitioners. Studies mention the requirement and benefits of conducting a synthesized literature review (Shekhar & Valeri, 2022). Such a literature review immensely benefits young researchers, particularly from developing and underdeveloped nations.…”

Social insurance has been a pivotal tool in implementing social security. The purpose of the study is to analyze the existing information clusters (areas) in the field of social insurance. Clusters define related and unrelated groups in the field of social insurance. These groups will help streamline and identify areas where little or no research has been conducted to present. To achieve the objective, the study employed a precise and systematic procedure to gather 562 journal articles published in Scopus-indexed journals from 1926–2022. Subsequently, VOSviewer, Science of Science (Sci2), and Gephi were utilized to conduct bibliometric analysis (such as keyword co-occurrence and bibliographic coupling) and network analysis tests (such as citation and co-citation analysis). The results of keyword co-occurrence and co-citation analysis suggest there are three knowledge clusters: welfare provisions, benefits provided by social insurance, and social insurance operational aspects. Through analysis found top article-based Inequality, social insurance, and redistribution with 408(LC) and 1042(GC) and its page rank value is 0.010574 through prestigious analysis. Additionally, it is also observed that I. Nielsen had made the most substantial contributions as an author, with R. Smyth and C. Nyland following closely in the rankings. Also, observed maximum total link strength with 109 value on social security variable. The study also drawn attention to specific deficiencies, including regional concentration of research, insufficient research in developing and underdeveloped countries, inadequate knowledge sharing among researchers, limited methodological diversity, and a lack of research on the role of social insurance in facilitating society’s recovery from the pandemic.

“…Maz pētīti tumšā tūrisma kontekstā joprojām ir jautājumi, kas saistīti ar mārketingu (Light, 2017;Shekhar, Valeri, 2022) un tumšā tūrisma piesaistes objektu tēlu (Farmaki, 2013). Šādu situāciju pētnieki pamato ar sākotnējām diskusijām par komercializācijas un komodifikācijas ētiskajiem aspektiem (Light, 2017).…”

Tumšais tūrisms nāves un holokausta vietu kontekstā: definīcijas, jēdzieni un izpētes virzieni Aija van der Steina IevadsAr nāvi saistītas vietas ir bijušas ceļotāju intereses objekts jau no ceļošanas pirmsākumiem, un šo interesi cauri gadsimtiem ir ietekmējuši tādi nozīmīgi Eiropas vēsturiskie, sociālie un kultūras procesi kā kristietība, antikvārisms un romantisms (Seaton, 1996). Interese par un ap nāvi arī mūsdienu sabiedrībā ir populāra tēma. Ar nāvi saistītas tēmas tiek vairāk izceltas populārajā kultūrā, atmiņas un piemiņas institūcijās, plašsaziņas līdzekļos, sabiedrībā un arī tūrismā (Young, Light, 2016). Mūsdienās tūristus piesaista kapsētas, kauju vietas, individuālo un masu slepkavību vietas, ar genocīdu un holokaustu saistītās vietas, vietas, kas saistās ar slavenību nāvi, līķu un galvaskausu ekspozīcijas, konfliktu zonas un bīstamās vietas, moku un spīdzināšanas vietas. Palielinās šajās vietās organizēto piemiņas rituālu, pasākumu skaits, veidojas tradīcijas (Young, Light, 2016). Jāatzīmē, ka ne vienmēr vietējā sabiedrība ir noskaņota kapu, bet jo vairāk tādu vietu, kas saistāmas ar traģēdijām, genocīdu un nācijai ne tik patīkamiem vēsturiskiem notikumiem, "atvēršanai" tūristiem. Viens no centrālajiem jautājumiem šajā diskusijā ir, no vienas puses -tūristu interese, bet, no otras, vietējo iedzīvotāju attieksme pret šo vietu iekļaušanu tūrisma piedāvājumā un to izmantošanas / patēriņa ētiskie aspekti.Vēsturiski daudzās kultūrās nāve un jautājumi ap un par nāvi ir bijuši "tabu" tēma un arī pētījumos šī tēma tika uzskatīta marginālu. Interese un norises sabiedrībā saistībā ar nāves tēmu ir veicinājušas arī nāves izpēti no dažādu zinātņu nozaru skatupunkta, piemēram, etnogrāfijas, arhitektūras, socioloģijas, ģenealoģijas, psiholoģijas, ekonomikas, politikas un citu zinātņu (Worpole, 2003). Arī tūrisma studijās kopš gadsimta mijas ir aktuālas akadēmiskās diskusijas par nāves vietām kā tūristu piesaistēm un nāvi kā tūristu ceļošanas motīvu. Jēdziens "tumšais tūrisms" ir kļuvis par atpazīstamu zīmolu
