作者:

Highlights:

• This study examines the factors that affect knowledge sharing behavior in health and life sciences research communities.

• Two types of knowledge are considered; implicit knowledge and explicit knowledge.

• Reciprocal benefit and fear of being scooped are critical in explicit and implicit knowledge sharing behavior.

• Anticipated relationship influences one's implicit knowledge sharing behavior.

• Reputation affects one's explicit knowledge sharing behavior.
