  text: The scientific impact of research papers is multi-dimensional and can be determined
    quantitatively by means of citation analysis and qualitatively by means of content
    analysis. Accounting for the widely acknowledged limitations of pure citation
    analysis, we adopt a knowledge-based perspective on scientific impact to develop
    a methodology for content-based citation analysis which allows determining how
    papers have enabled knowledge development in subsequent research (knowledge impact).
    As knowledge development differs between research genres, we develop a new knowledgebased
    citation analysis methodology for the genre of standalone literature reviews (LRs).
    We apply the suggested methodology to the IS business value domain by manually
    coding 22 LRs and 1,228 citing papers (CPs) and show that the results challenge
    the assumption that citations indicate knowledge impact. We derive implications
    for distinguishing knowledge impact from citation impact in the LR genre. Finally,
    we develop recommendations for authors of LRs, scientific evaluation committees
    and editorial boards of journals how to apply and benefit from the suggested methodology,
    and we discuss its efficiency and automatization.
