This paper aims to summarize the existing research achievements in the field of health information literacy in China to reveal the research hotspots and the research focus of author groups.Using CNKI as the data source and employing softwares such as SATI 3.2,SPSS 26.0,Ucinet 6.204,and Netdraw 2.119,combined with co-word analysis and social network analysis methods,the paper performs cluster analysis of high-frequency keywords and visualizes author networks.It identifies three major research directions in the field of health information literacy in China:research on library health information services,analysis of factors affecting health informa-tion literacy,and research on health information behaviors.The paper also notes that the connections among scholars in this field are relatively loose,with many isolated nodes in the overall network,and most sub-networks are small in size.It highlights the need for further promotion of knowledge exchange and information sharing.
