Anti-Doping Research in China:A Visual Analysis Based on CiteSpace
METHOD:This study utilized 396 CSSCI articles related to anti-doping obtained from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)database for visual analysis using CiteSpace software.RESULTS:The volume of literature in China's anti-doping research field has shown two growth periods,indicating an overall upward trend,with research peaks primarily concentrated around major events and before and after the promulgation of national policies.Collaboration among core authors in China's anti-doping research field is relatively low,while authors with moderate publication volumes are closely interconnected.Xiangtan University Law School and Wuhan University Law School serve as the core research institutions in China,with most research originating from law schools of universities.Although some interconnections exist between institutions,most institutions still predominantly conduct independent research.Apart from doping and anti-doping,the focal points in China's anti-doping research field mainly involve areas such as"sports law,""sports arbitration,""sports jurisprudence,""sports management,""athletes,"and"competitive sports."The research frontier mainly encompasses"athletes,""sports law,""anti-doping,""serious violations,"and"sports power."CONCLUSION:In recent years,research on anti-doping in China has been increasing,but it primarily remains at the theoretical level,with relatively fewer studies on doping detection and practical aspects.SUGGESTION:Scholars of China may consider broadening the breadth and depth of their research and collectively promote the implementation of anti-doping policies in the country from the perspectives of policy systems,law,education,and disciplinary research,striving for"moral gold medals,sportsmanship gold medals,and clean gold medals."
