Abstract: With the rapid development of the Internet and open science, the environment and mode of
academic exchange are constantly changing. It is necessary to analyze the history and current situation of
the field in order to improve the policy and efficiency of academic exchange. This paper utilizes citation
analysis and text analysis to study the history and development status of academic exchanges. The following
conclusions are drawn: The research and development in this field has undergone three stages, which are
germination (1267-1950), preliminary development (1950-1980) and rapid development (1980-present),
with the classical literature in each stage analyzed here. In the last two decades (1996-2017), the research
topics in this field are mainly on open publishing, social media and network academics, which are closely
related and interdependent.
