Knowledge diffusion path analysis of data quality literature: A main path analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• An integrated main path analysis is applied to the data quality literature.

• We apply four different main path analyses to depict the knowledge diffusion paths.

• The multiple-global main path analysis identifies four research trends.

• The key-route main path analysis explores the convergence–divergence phenomena.

• The main journals and researchers in the data quality field are reported.
