Knowledge Management and Technology

Knowledge Management and Technology is a research topic within Management Science and Operations Research. Science Explorer counts 3.2k research works in it since 1951. 10.2% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the representation and critique of the DIKW (Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom) hierarchy, with a focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning, environmental management, and health impact assessment. It delves into the interplay between data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in various domains and their implications for decision-making and problem-solving.

How concentrated that is

The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
