Abstract: In the last decade of previous century the concept of knowledge management (KM) was born. The phrase KM can be understand in different ways and since those days we have seen many definitions of KM. This paper deals with the most important articles in the concept of KM. For this purpose we initially identified and downloaded 7553 articles from the WoS on the KM topic. Until 1995 less than ten articles including “knowledge management” term in their topic were published each year in the WoS. However, from 1995 the number of articles rapidly increased with its peak in 2012 achieving exactly 654 articles. Articles on KM were published in 1593 different journals all of them indexed in the WoS. Journal of knowledge management (JKM) have published the highest number of downloaded articles (318 articles in total) on the KM topic in WoS. The most cited article was written by Alavi and Leidner (2001) and published in MIS Quarterly. Several methods from the network analytic field were used in the paper in order to find some interesting structure inside the network. In addition, a lot of interesting works were identified which are not a part of articles on the KM topic but were cited or were citing initial group of 7553 articles.
