Knowledge Management Research and Practice (KMRP) is a reputed international journal in the field of knowledge management. Motivated by the stature of the journal, this study aims to analyse the journal's impact, prominent themes, and frequently contributing authors and their affiliated institutions and countries using bibliometric analysis. Network analysis is used to observe the trends in collaboration in the journal. Bibliographic coupling analysis grouped the journal's publications into four different groups with the objective of identifying the leading trends and the evolution of the journal. The study uses the Scopus database to extract the bibliographic data of the journal along with VOSviewer and Gephi software for graphical visualisation of the bibliographic data.

“…In fact, face-to-face group cohesion has been reported to make wikis work well [15,20]. Multiple techniques are needed for successful collaboration groups, and we can learn from the work of others [31]. Absence of a clear-cut social structure and incentive to collaborate have been suggested as possible reasons for a lack of engagement in collaborative technologies [30,31].…”

WhatisKT wiki: a case study of a platform for knowledge translation terms and definitions — descriptive analysis

et al. 2013

BackgroundMore than a hundred terms, often with unclear definitions and varying emphases, are used by health research and practice communities across the world who are interested in getting the best possible evidence applied (e.g., knowledge translation, implementation science, diffusion of innovations, and technology transfer). This makes finding published evidence difficult and can result in reduced, misinterpreted, or challenging interactions among professionals. Open dialogue and interaction among various professionals is needed to achieve consolidation of vocabulary. We use case report methods to describe how we sought to build an online tool to present the range of terms and facilitate the dialogue process across groups and disciplines interested in harnessing research evidence for healthcare.MethodsWe used a wiki platform from Wikispaces to present the problem of terminology and make a case and opportunity for collaboration on usage. Wikis are web sites where communities of users can collaborate online to build content and discuss progress. We gathered terms related to getting research into practice, sought published definitions, and posted these on the wiki (WhatisKT http://whatiskt.wikispaces.com/). We built the wiki in mid-2008 and promoted it through various groups and publications. This report describes the content of the site, our promotion efforts, use of the site, and how the site was used for collaboration up to the end of 2011.ResultsThe WhatisKT wiki site now includes more than 120 pages. Traffic to the site has increased substantially from an average of 200 monthly visits in 2008 to 1700 in 2011. Visitors from 143 countries viewed the wiki in 2011, compared with 12 countries in 2008. However, most use has been limited to short term accesses of about 40 seconds per visit, and discussion of consolidation and solidifying terminology is conspicuously absent.ConclusionsAlthough considerable interest exists in the terms and definitions related to getting research into practice based on increasing numbers of accesses, use of the WhatisKT wiki site for anything beyond quick lookups was minimal. Additional efforts must be directed towards increasing the level of interaction among the members of the site to encourage collaboration on term use.

“…Moreover, training and appropriate reward system, such as recognition and praise, should be in place ( 1 ). For example, to impact healthcare delivery in the USA, the national resource center has chosen to use a combination of codification and collaboration of ICT and also a variety of formal and informal techniques as part of its strategy of knowledge sharing, among others the us of Web 2.0 technologies ( 38 ). Besides, the traditional approach was used to managing the knowledge.…”

BACKGROUND: Healthcare is a knowledge driven process and thus knowledge management and the tools to manage knowledge in healthcare sector are gaining attention. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate knowledge management implementation and knowledge management tools used in healthcare for informed decision making. METHODS: Three databases, two journals websites and Google Scholar were used as sources for the review. The key terms used to search relevant articles include: "Healthcare and Knowledge Management"; "Knowledge Management Tools in Healthcare" and "Community of Practices in healthcare". RESULTS: It was found that utilization of knowledge management in healthcare is encouraging. There exist numbers of opportunities for knowledge management implementation, though there are some barriers as well. Some of the opportunities that can transform healthcare are advances in health information and communication technology, clinical decision support systems, electronic health record systems, communities of practice and advanced care planning. CONCLUSION: Providing the right knowledge at the right time, i.e., at the point of decision making by implementing knowledge management in healthcare is paramount. To do so, it is very important to use appropriate tools for knowledge management and user-friendly system because it can significantly improve the quality and safety of care provided for patients both at hospital and home settings. KEYWORDS: Knowledge management, tools, evidence-based medical practice, healthcare, informed decision making
