Bruce, I'm not disagreeing with you, its just that I have no data to support either position so I just go with the halo effect that SCOPUS provides. Frankly this is a real problem in academia in that

Murray, Boris, and all, Some new research looking at the growing problem of the paper writing services that I mentioned in my previous comment The infernal business of contract cheating: understanding

Arthur, with the quote of the great Immanuel Kant I just want to stress that theory an practice have to go hand in hand. If you have an academic background you can't and shouldn't deny it. You should

In light of the exchange on SCOPUS I share with you here the list of scientific KM and Intellectual Capital and their standing in the scientific community.

True Stephen – all analysis is subjected to bias and is limited, because we are human. We seek “truth” (acceptable knowledge that explains the basis of a situation), but each truth is actually an inte

#periodicals #learning

Hi Arthur, I actually think both kinds of "root cause analysis" are flawed. Any post-hoc analysis suffers from confirmation bias and spurious pattern matching, so what's more critical from a disciplin

Hi Boris, Yes we agree on some things and not others Boris and that is a good thing (as mentioned earlier). Like your quote "Curiosity is the beginning of all learning!" I believe this is a great insi

I'll agree with you on the doubtful quality, but add that low quality is happening a lot including the US. I think the problem is the pressure to publish and the open access journals. The pressure to

Thanks Murray for your replies. I didn't say I was surprised by the large number of Chinese KM papers indexed in SCOPUS, rather that I'd be surprised if at least some of them weren’t of doubtful quali

Patrick, The paper doesn't answer these questions and there are just too many papers for me to independently do it. I am comfortable that the numbers are close to right as I did check my numbers repor

One other point to make about SCOPUS, it lists about half of what Google Scholar lists, it is actually a little tough to be listed by SCOPUS, hence its hard to ignore the findings of the paper. I real

#periodicals #learning

I fully understand your points and agree with you. However I have to point out that SCOPUS is a pretty good system that is relied upon heavily. That said the research I see comes mainly from universit

Thanks Murray, interesting insights. I'm a little nervous though about China's ranking in the paper as second highest for KM research output behind the US, for two reasons. The first reason is that I'

Thanks Murray - as you say this is a trend that suggests itself from just scanning the journal contents pages, it is useful to have it quantified. To your question: ------- The final question of cours

Attached is a paper that may be of interest to the group. The paper is on KM output in SCOPUS and is focused on who, where, and how many academic papers were written in the decade 2007 through 2016. S
