Analysis of knowledge map of China-Europe Railway Express research based on CiteSpace
In order to better understand the current situation and development of the research on China-Eu-rope Railway Express(CER Express),to keep abreast of the relevant research hotspots,mainstream views,and future trends,and to discover scientific issues with research potential.In this paper,China Knowledge infrastruc-ture(CNKI)is selected as the literature indexing database,and the relevant journal literature on CER Express from 2015 to 2023 is retrieved as the data source.The information visualization techniques and tools of dynamic net-work analysis(CiteSpace)are used to analyze the data for co-occurrence analysis of issuing authors and institu-tions,keyword clustering analysis,keyword mediation centrality analysis,and keyword emergence analysis to draw the knowledge map of CER express,present the knowledge structure and evolution law of the research field of CER Express,and prospect the future research direction.It is found that,the research on CER Express is in a period of high speed development,and the total number of articles published is on a steady upward trend.At present,the re-search on CER express has Feng Fenling,Cui Yanping,Tang Yinying and so on as the main authors of the articles published,and the group of prolific authors in the field of research on CER Express has not been fully formed,but just that some of the authors have performed very prominently and have played a leading role in the field.The re-search institutions are represented by Southwest Jiaotong University,the Market Monitoring and Evaluation Center of the National Railway Administration and Central South University,which are mainly located in railway-related universities and research institutes.The research hotspots mainly focus on the Belt and Road intiative,railroad transportation and organization,international trade,development strategies and countermeasures,government subsi-dies,and models and methods of optimization.The research trends mainly include Belt and Road Initiative,rail-road transportation,countermeasures,key factors,blockchain,international intermodal transport,digital coopera-tion,and government subsidies.And the research frontiers mainly focus on railroad transportation,industrial upgra-ding,and international trade.
