Abstract
The analysis of collaborative contribution networks and hot spots in earthquake research from a global perspective will reveal some rules and trends in this field that will provide references and macroguidance for scientific researchers in the field. With the help of data analysis software Excel and visualization software VOSviewer, this study mainly uses two methods of bibliometric and social network analysis to analyze 66,296 papers on the subject of “earthquake” collecting in Web of Science in 2009–2018 from multiple perspectives. In the past 10 years, scientific research output in the earthquake field has steadily increased year by year with an evident cross subject. The contribution of co-publishing is much higher than that of single publishing, and it has a higher number of citations and displays. Half of the 50 keywords with the highest frequency of co-occurrence are the continuation of hot spots in 1900–2010. The evolution of hot spots shows that in the average publishing year of 2013.5–2015.0, hot spots have changed from old to new, but few new hot spots have appeared in the past 2 years.
