Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the content of validated journal articles related to Knowledge Management (KM) in more than 18,000 papers of the Web of Science (WoS) database and then provide the most recent specific trends in KM field using text mining and burst detection to help researchers invest in the most challenging and fruitful areas of KM research domain. The method for finding the recent trend of KM includes the following steps: Conducting searches and collecting the publication data from WoS; using a hybrid analysis through burst detection and text clustering; also enriching and analyzing the results in order to achieve an overall perspective about the KM position and the popularity among researchers. This study could be valuable for researchers and KM specialists as well as managers as they may study the history of a subject by getting the structure of its scientific productions, so as to purposefully plan and determine the research priorities in KM.
