| Description: |
Introduction: Knowledge mobilization (K*)—a term encompassing activities such as synthesis, dissemination, exchange, and application of knowledge—is discussed and cited across disciplines, particularly in research addressing equity- and/or sovereignty-deserving communities. Despite increasing calls for applied research, significant gaps remain between knowledge generation and its outcomes. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) aims to narrow this gap, especially in contexts marked by historical and systemic exclusion. Objectives and Methods: The objectives of this bibliometric analysis are to examine how K* terminology is applied, cited, and connected across disciplines, geographies, authors, and journals, and to produce accessible visual data that highlights patterns related to equity- and/or sovereignty-deserving communities. Adhering to established bibliometric methods, we will use Covidence to pre-screen records, export relevant records for a search within the Web of Science Core Collection to generate data, and then analyze and visualize citation and authorship trends and keyword occurrences using Excel, VOSviewer, and Gephi. Results and Discussion: The findings will reveal the frequently used K* terms, their citation patterns, and how they cluster across disciplines, geographies, authors, and journals. Network visualizations will highlight influential citations, recurring keywords such as equity and community engagement, and thematic intersections with research involving equity- and/or sovereignty-deserving communities. The bibliometric analysis will contribute critical insights into how K* is framed and interacts with equity- and/or sovereignty-deserving communities within the literature. Conclusion: Our protocol serves as a replicable guide for future bibliometric analyses in this area. By leveraging systematic searching protocols and the rigour of bibliometrics, we can create data visualizations to map influence, reveal hidden connections, and present complex knowledge landscapes in ways that ... |
