Current research and trends on waste resource utilization in the context of the Digital Economy——Based on a bibliometric analysis with CiteSpace
With the emergence and evolution of the digital economy,the resource utilization of waste has gained significant attention as a pivotal issue.This paper utilized a sample of 347 research articles on waste resource utilization,archived in CNKI from 2013 to 2022,and employs CiteSpace visualization software for a comprehensive analysis of the publication volume,journals,keywords,and other critical information of the related literature.Based on this,a knowledge map was constructed,providing a visual interpretation of the selected articles.The findings reveal the following insights:Firstly,research on waste resource utilization over the past decade can be distinctly categorized into initial,exploratory,and stable phases.Secondly,articles on this topic are primarily published in environment-related journals like"Environmental Protection"and"Ecological Economy".Lastly,the predominant research themes encompass the circular economy,waste management,waste treatment,and resource utilization,with varying focal points across different periods.
