Abstract: The present study sought to map the bibliographic convergence of Knowledge Management (KM) and Project Management (PM). To achieve this goal, we adopted bibliometric techniques, supported by exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The bibliographic coupling showed that the emerging KM literature deals with KM and results in PM, KM and project-oriented organisations, KM and project success, projects as a knowledge source, KM in interorganisational projects, and knowledge transfer in projects. Moreover, we determined that the intellectual structure of the area, KM fundamentals, KM and learning in project-based organisations, KM in organisations and projects, and KM and social mechanisms were also notable themes. Additionally, the EFA detected a relationship between the emerging themes and articles representing the intellectual structure. Furthermore, our results provide insights practitioners can use to recognise emerging issues the organisation is experiencing in the literature.
