2. Research tools<br>CiteSpace is a software developed by Professor Chen Chaomei and his team of Drexel University in the United States, which is used to identify and display new trends and trends of scientific development in scientific literature. It can show the development trend and trend of a discipline or knowledge domain in a certain period, and form the evolution process of several research frontier fields. Its design concept comes from Kuhn's scientific development theory, price's scientific frontier theory, social network analysis's structural hole theory, and knowledge unit's discretization and reorganization theory. Its operation mechanism is based on CO citation analysis theory and path finding network algorithm, taking the knowledge domain as the object to carry on the scientific measurement to the literature, and make the structure, network, evolution or derivation between knowledge units or knowledge groups In order to intuitively analyze the potential dynamic mechanism of discipline evolution and scientifically predict the frontier of discipline development, the implicit and complex relationships are presented in the form of graph visualization.<br>
