A Bibliometric Analysis of Knowledge Management: Applications, Price’s Square Root and Pareto Principle on Research Trends

Abstract: The study deals with the Bibliometric study on the publication of "Knowledge Management". The records are collected from Web of Science Databases for the period of 2003-2022. A total of 3068 papers were identified in Web of Science database. The study reveals that, most of the researchers chosen to publish their research results in journal and more numbers of articles were published in the year 2022. The authorship trend shows that, out of total 3068 literature published, Single Author 7.89% and Multiple author   92.11% of the publication published under the majority  joint author. Three thousand and sixty eight authors have contributed the total of 33568 articles. Additional in this study also acknowledged to analyses coverage growth rates, most prolific authors, Degree of collaboration, Areas of research concentration, Price’s Square Root Law and Pareto Principle and citation analysis is also noted in this study.
