Abstract:

The development of information science has become the common focus of domestic and foreign researchers. In order to learn about the development of information science at home and abroad,we collected 4725 records from ISI Web of Knowledge, and 8052 records from CNKI during 2010-2015.We analyzed the developing trend of information science at home and abroad by using the visualization software of CiteSpace. Three aspects were studied in particular by means of bibliometrics and visualization analysis, namely,, influential authors, high frequency keywords, and PageRank algorithm. Finally, we made a comparative analysis of the research content to identify the differences in information science studies between home and abroad.

Key words: Information Science, Visualization analysis, Word frequency analysis, Current research focus
