Knowledge Diffusion and Innovation Research in Virtual Contexts

Abstract:

Knowledge creation and diffusion in determining growth performance is still a hot topic. We gleaned from science citation index expanded (SCI-EXPANED) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) database on web of science, concerning advances in knowledge diffusion research in virtual contexts. The result indicates that the main research territory is Italy, accounting for 22.222%. The number of citations on this topic mainly distributes in recently 3 years, reaching climax of 16 in 2012. And from the analysis of research area, there are five main areas: business economics, environment science ecology, geography, public administration, and social sciences other topics. Particularly, the percentage of publication in business economics is 55.556%. Overall, the relating knowledge diffusion and innovation research topics can be classified into five aspects: infrastructures, capacities, performance, policies and modeling.
