Development Suggestion and Hotspots Analysis of Medical Undergraduate Scientific Research Training at Home and Abroad Based on CiteSpace Software

Abstract

Objective: To study the current situation and hotspots of medical undergraduate research training at home and abroad, and to provide suggestions for the development of medical undergraduate research training in China. Methods: PubMed and CNKI were used as data sources to retrieve literature related to medical undergraduates scientific research training from January 2000 to July 2021. Based on CiteSpace software, visualized analysis was performed on the literature of age, country, author, institution and keyword. Use Excel to make statistics of CiteSpace running results. Results: The number of domestic and foreign literature was on the rise. The United States published the most English literature in this field, and Beijing and Jiangsu have published the most Chinese literature in this filed. The distribution of core authors at home and abroad is discrete, and some core authors have cooperated with each other. Domestic research institutions are mainly medical colleges and universities, while foreign research institutions are mainly medical institutions. There are 5 cluster label words in English literature and 9 cluster label words in Chinese literature. There are 11 burst terms in foreign countries and 20 burst terms in Chinese. The historical evolution process of foreign research can be divided into theoretical education and practical education, while the historical evolution process of domestic research can be divided into exploration, development, continuous research and deepening research. Conclusion: There are great differences between domestic and foreign research hotspots. Domestic research focuses on research ability and quality, while foreign research focuses on the combination of theory and practice. There are certain problems in teaching, practice, system, influence and other aspects. It is suggested that the teaching methods should be diversified based on practice, the scientific training system should be improved, and the cooperation between domestic and foreign institutions and authors should be strengthened to further deepen the research in this field and lay a good foundation for the future scientific research and training system.
