Research Hotspots and Development Trends in Systems Science and Systems Engineering Disciplines
With the help of CiteSpace software,this paper makes a visual analysis of the cooperation between authors(institutions),research hotspots and research trends of the relevant literatures of systems sci-ence and systems engineering in the past 30 years.It is found that the cooperation between authors and in-stitutions is loose,and no core author group or core institution group has been formed.The research focus of the discipline includes personnel training,methodology,Chinese practice,complexity,safety science,earth science,interdisciplinary,emergence,etc.As for the evolution and trend analysis of disci-pline development,the development of discipline in the past 30 years can be divided into the stage of dis-cipline system improvement,the stage of integrated development,and the stage of in-depth research and expansion of research.The development of discipline has changed from focusing on theoretical research to focusing on both theory and practice,and from micro research to macro research.Finally,the paper puts forward some suggestions on the development of the discipline from three aspects:strengthening coopera-tion,establishing the discipline system with Chinese characteristics and serving Chinese practice.
