Research Hotspots and Trends of Knowledge Service in University Libraries in the Past 20 Years
[Objective/Significance]Analyze the current research status,research hotspots,and research frontiers in the field of knowledge service in university libraries from 2001 to 2022 to provide references and guidance for research and practice in the field of library knowledge service in China.[Methods/Processes]Retrieving relevant literature in the knowledge service field of university libraries from 2001 to 2022 on the CNKI platform,using the Citespace software to carry out bibliometrics on it from four aspects of time,institutions,authors and keywords,generating a visualized knowledge map to show the research hotspots,development trends and cutting-edge trends in the knowledge service field of domestic university libraries.[Limitations]The literature in 2023 has not yet been included,and the latest research results will be tracked in the follow-up to improve the analysis of the development trend of this study.Due to the limitation of the length of the literature,the context analysis of some research topics is slightly rough and needs to be further refined.[Results/Conclusions]The overall volume of articles shows a long-term upward trend,followed by a recent decline.Since 2019,it has been decreasing significantly each year.It is common for authors and institutions to conduct independent research.The research hotspots include information literacy,discipline service,knowledge service,intellectual property information service,data management service,think tank service,digital academic service and smart service.The research frontiers include smart service,digital humanities,data literacy,digital scholarship,intellectual property,and data management.
