Call for Papers [Special Topic]

Knowledge Management
The special topic calls for papers on Knowledge Management and such papers will appear in the journal Management Science and Engineering as a special column. Description
Knowledge Management (KM) efforts have a long history, to include on-the-job discussions, formal apprenticeship, discussion forums, corporate libraries, professional training and mentoring programs. More recently, with increased use of computers in the second half of the 20th century, specific adaptations of technologies such as knowledge bases, expert systems, knowledge repositories, group decision support systems, intranets, and computer-supported cooperative work have been introduced to further enhance such efforts. KM emerged as a scientific disc ipline in the earlier 1990s. A broad range of thoughts on the KM discipline exist, approaches vary by author and school. As the discipline matures, academic debates have increased regarding both the theory and practice of KM. In this special topic, we will provide a platform to publish the most recent research on this new discipline, potential research areas includes but not limited to: semantic web; organization studies; knowledge and information management; public sector informatics.
