Knowledge Management Forum is an academic journal supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and sponsored by the National Science Library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISSN 2095-5472, CN11-6036/C). KMF is dedicated to advancing the creation, organization, and effective utilization of knowledge in the knowledge era, and to promoting the rapid, extensive, and effective dissemination of research results in knowledge management. The journal focuses on research related to the production, creation, organization, integration, mining, sharing, analysis, utilization, and innovation of knowledge. Any issues concerning knowledge management in governments, enterprises, universities, libraries, as well as other various entities and virtual organizations—including theories, methods, tools, technologies, applications, policies, solutions, and best practices—fall within its scope of coverage.
