Analysis of the Knowledge Map of Innovation Chain Research in China and Abroad
In the context of China's modernization,a comparative analysis of the current status,hotspots,and develop-ment trends of domestic and international innovation chain research based on a structured mode can provide theoretical sup-port for the development of new productive forces.Using the information visualization software CiteSpace,this paper con-ducts an in-depth exploration of core journal articles in the CNKI and WOS databases from January 1 1990,to December 31 2023,and constructs a knowledge map of innovation chain research.The research findings indicate that:①Since 2000,research on innovation chains has shown a fluctuating growth trend worldwide;②The focus of research both domestically and internationally is mainly on the theory of innovation chains,the construction of innovation chains,and the measurement of innovation chains,with a total of 10 main research threads identified;③There are significant differences in research hotspots between domestic and international studies:CNKI data shows that research is influenced by China's national con-ditions,with"industry-education integration"emerging as a key term,while international research focuses more on issues such as"industry 4.0"and"resilience";④The research process can be divided into three stages according to CNKI and WOS data:the rise of innovation and optimization of the industrial chain,global industrial chain adjustment and China's countermeasures,and knowledge-driven industrial chain upgrading and sustainable development,as well as the preliminary exploration of innovation chains,the deepening of innovation chains,and the global leadership of innovation chains.Based on the analysis results,the study suggests that future research should follow the"composition-mechanism-governance"framework of regional innovation chains,optimize evaluation methods,clarify types of regional innovation chains,and con-struct a collaborative governance mechanism for innovation chains.
