Abstract

The article proposes an integrated mechanism of knowledge development within the institutional framework of a scientific journal. Methodologically, the study is anchored on classical models of knowledge management and the concept of intellectual capital. These theoretical models allow conceptualizing the processes of knowledge transformation and development as different dimensions of a single institutional system. As a result, we construct a mechanism that links four modes of knowledge transformation, the processes of generation – codification – transfer, the strategies of codification and personalization, the stage of validation through peer review, and the accumulation of the structural capital of a scientific discipline or theory. The research highlights the following functions of the proposed mechanism: articulation of tacit research experience, combination and reconfiguration of knowledge, institutionalized validation of new knowledge, accumulation of discipline-related structural capital, as well as maintenance and development of the very discipline community. Among the limitations typical of the mechanism are the linearity of its basic architecture, the limited throughput of peer review, the economic asymmetry of access, and the commercial concentration of publishing. The results provide a conceptual framework for investigating editorial policies, designing research evaluation systems and next-generation knowledge management infrastructures.
