This paper systematically studies the method of mining knowledge communication via Open-Access Journals. We first designed a new framework of knowledge communication analysis based on clustering and association rule mining. Then, we proposed two improved indexes named cited frequency and weighted cited frequency. Extensive evaluations using real-world data validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework of knowledge communication analysis.enconference proceedings10.1007/978-3-319-22324-7_6
