An Analysis and Prospects of the Research Hotspots on Cyberbullying in China
To figure out the development process of research on cyberbullying in China,this paper analyzes and summarizes the hotspots in this field by combing the research achievements and looking forward to future development,which is expected to provide reference for further research.Taking the literature concerned in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),specifically in the Peking University Core Journal List and the Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index(CSSCI)as the analysis subject,this study utilizes CiteSpace,a software for bibliometric information visualization,to analyze its research trends,keyword clustering,and burst terms.The research trends in the field of cyberbullying in China can be divided into three stages;the research content focuses on three major themes:basic theoretical research on cyberbullying,research on high-risk groups and formation mechanisms,and governance practice research.Overall,the research shows a trend of increasing enthusiasm and diversification,with hotspots evolving from theory to practice,and a preliminary full lifecycle research chain has been formed.
