Knowledge management in the mirror of the Russian Scientific Citation Index
The aim of the paper is to analyze the publication activity of the Russian writing authors and research organizations published in the field of knowledge management. The study was analysed bibliometric methods, statistical analysis, and analytical tools provided by the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI), SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Science Direct. Overall, the study accounts for 363695 SCOPUS documents, 111015 Web of Science documents, 41546 Science Direct documents, and 27072 RSCI documents. The dynamics of the number of publications in the RSCI was compared with the dynamics for Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct publications. It was found out that the positive dynamics of the world publication activity on knowledge management problems correlates with the dynamics of the world knowledge management market. It has been shown that the RSCI publications that use solutions based on the ontological models were among the most discussed. The greatest publication activity in the field of knowledge management and ontological design is demonstrated by Universities and research institutes located in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but also in Ulyanovsk, Samara, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and Tomsk. The most cited authors are working in the A.P. Ershov Institute of Informatics Systems (Novosibirsk), the Samara National Research University, and the Ulyanovsk State Technical University. An analysis of the RSCI citation indexes have showed that the fundamental works of Russian scientists devoted to the scientific and methodological foundations of knowledge management and published in the period from 1992 to 2008 are still in demand today.
