<h3>Purpose</h3>
<p>The article proposes a taxonomy of knowledge-based and information and communication technology (ICT) networks based on a systematic literature review. The specific objectives focus on (1) presenting knowledge-based and ICT network models, indicating their theoretical context (trends); (2) identifying proposals for knowledge-based network models in the literature (based on SLR); (3) developing a taxonomy of knowledge-based network models; and (4) indicating the directions of their development.</p>

<p>The systematic literature review (SLR) methodology was used, which allows not only for a formalized and objectified synthesis of the existing scientific achievements or for the evaluation of previous research. In addition, the “snowball” method was used, and its application was supported by the use of the ResearchRabbit tool. In addition, the taxonomy method (typological analysis, typological approach) was used.</p>

<h3>Findings</h3>
<p>The results of SLR were presented: a list of selected types of knowledge-based and ICT networks along with a discussion of the results, and the author’s proposals for a taxonomy of knowledge-based and ICT networks were presented along with a synthetic description of the leading models.

<h3>Practical implications</h3>
<p>(*if any, optional). The practical usefulness of the proposal contained in the study is related to the possibility of using the proposed concept to evaluate various types of network models, which will enable the formulation of diagnostic findings and conducting comparative and dynamic research in the field of analysis and evaluation of knowledge-based and ICT-based network models.</p>

Purpose
The article proposes a taxonomy of knowledge-based and information and communication technology (ICT) networks based on a systematic literature review. The specific objectives focus on (1) presenting knowledge-based and ICT network models, indicating their theoretical context (trends); (2) identifying proposals for knowledge-based network models in the literature (based on SLR); (3) developing a taxonomy of knowledge-based network models; and (4) indicating the directions of their development.


Design/methodology/approach
The systematic literature review (SLR) methodology was used, which allows not only for a formalized and objectified synthesis of the existing scientific achievements or for the evaluation of previous research. In addition, the “snowball” method was used, and its application was supported by the use of the ResearchRabbit tool. In addition, the taxonomy method (typological analysis, typological approach) was used.


Findings
The results of SLR were presented: a list of selected types of knowledge-based and ICT networks along with a discussion of the results, and the author’s proposals for a taxonomy of knowledge-based and ICT networks were presented along with a synthetic description of the leading models. The directions of their development were also indicated.


Practical implications
(*if any, optional). The practical usefulness of the proposal contained in the study is related to the possibility of using the proposed concept to evaluate various types of network models, which will enable the formulation of diagnostic findings and conducting comparative and dynamic research in the field of analysis and evaluation of knowledge-based and ICT-based network models.


Originality/value
The added value of the article is related to the development of a proprietary taxonomy of knowledge- and ICT-based networks and, consequently, to the organization and systematization of models of these networks. This taxonomy is a valuable tool for organizing and categorizing information systematically. When it comes to knowledge and ICT-based networks, a taxonomy can help classify and understand the different types and components involved in starting point division into network models that were created as a result of the virtualization process and models that were created as a result of exchange processes and the flow of intangible assets. The added value is also related to the practical usefulness of the developed taxonomy.
