Instrument sharing management is an important means of improving the utilization of scientific and technological resources.It uses 499 Chinese literatures on instrument sharing management in China from 2005 to 2022 collected by CNKI as the data source,and uses CiteSpace literature measurement software to analyze the research progress and hotspots of China's instrument sharing management from dimensions such as time,author,institution,and keywords.The results show that:(1)From the overall trend,the research process of domestic instrument sharing management can be divided into three stages:germination,fluctuating development and consolidated development,and the trend of the annual number of articles published shows a wave-like change.(2)From the perspective of authorship and institutional cooperation,China has made great achievements in the field of instrument sharing management research while the cooperation network is relatively scattered.(3)Judging from the current hotspots,from the management mechanism,management model,management system to assessment,informatization,and collaborative innovation,there is an increasing emphasis on talent training,service-oriented management,IoT and new security management issues.In the future,more in-depth research can be conducted on the R&D technology and mechanism innovation of scientific instruments,the training of technical and management talents,as well as the digitization of sharing platforms.
