Research Status and Trends of Science and Technology Evaluation in China—Visual Analysis Based on Knowledge Mapping

In order to understand the current status and future trends of China’s science and technology evaluation research, we use the visual analysis tool CiteSpace to use the source journals included in the Chinese social science citations from 1998-2019 as the data source, and evaluate the domestic science and technology evaluation papers from the number of publications, the co-occurrence of authors, Institutional co-occurrence and subject clustering are analyzed. The study found that: the total amount of literature in the field of domestic science and technology evaluation is showing an overall upward trend; a relatively obvious author cooperation network has been formed, but the core author group has not yet been formed; institutional cooperation clusters have appeared, but the cooperation between institutions is still relatively scattered; The research topics focus on three aspects: science and technology evaluation index system, evaluation method and evaluation system.
