Abstract
Purpose Library intelligence institutions, which are a kind of traditional knowledge management
organization, are at the frontline of the big data revolution, in which the use of unstructured data has become
a modern knowledge management resource. The paper aims to discuss this issue.
Design/methodology/approach This research combined theme logic structure (TLS), artificial neural
network (ANN), and ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) to transform unstructured data into a
signal-wave to examine the research characteristics.
Findings Research characteristics have a vital effect on knowledge management activities and
management behavior through concentration and relaxation, and ultimately form a quasi-periodic evolution.
Knowledge management should actively control the evolution of the research characteristics because the
natural development of six to nine years was found to be difficult to plot.
Originality/value Periodic evaluation using TLS-ANN-EEMD gives insights into journal evolution and
allows journal managers and contributors to follow the intrinsic mode functions and predict the journal
research characteristics tendencies.
Keywords Big data, Knowledge management, Machine learning, Text mining, ANN, EEMD
