Typology of Knowledge Management in the Field of Knowledge Commercialization Using the Spectroscopy

One of the most widely used fields of knowledge management is the commercialization of knowledge. This research, with the help of scientometric techniques, identifies the effects of knowledge in the field of knowledge commercialization. This research is a kind of scientometric. Initial data were obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) database to investigate the historical roots of published works in the field of commercialization of knowledge. Then, the main roots of this filed, the amount of received citations, and influential works were identified using RPYS software. Next, with the help of the yearcr software, the extent of the effects of the works outside of the range of peaks were also introduced. The period under investigation is the publication in the years 1900-2015. By searching published works in the time period of 1900-2015, 1550 records related to commercialization of knowledge were retrieved. The total number of citations up to the time of the present research was 39817, which resulted in the emergence of five peaks in the years 1934, 1962, 1973, 1998, and 2003. The present project has introduced the influential works in the field of commercialization of knowledge. Identifying the influential effects in the field of commercialization of knowledge makes it possible to identify the main origins and subfields of knowledge.
