Information management is the management of organizational processes, technologies, and
people which collectively create, acquire, integrate, organize, process, store, disseminate, access,
and dispose of the information. Information management is a vast, multi-disciplinary domain that
syndicates various subdomains and perfectly intermingles with other domains. This study aims to
provide a comprehensive overview of the information management domain from 1970 to 2019.
Drawing upon the methodology from statistical text analysis research, this study summarizes the
evolution of knowledge in this domain by examining the publication trends as per authors,
institutions, countries, etc. Further, this study proposes a probabilistic generative model based on
structural topic modeling to understand and extract the latent themes from the research articles
related to information management. Furthermore, this study graphically visualizes the variations
in the topic prevalences over the period of 1970 to 2019. The results highlight that the most
common themes are data management, knowledge management, environmental management,
project management, service management, and mobile and web management. The findings also
identify themes such as knowledge management, environmental management, project
management, and social communication as academic hotspots for future research.
