Abstract

Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology (JVST) serial journals are the official publications of American Vacuum Society. We search the nanotechnology-related references on JVST and obtain visual maps through a visual analysis tool, CiteSpace. The visual maps can help us understand the distribution of research institutions and cooperation, high-impact authors, core literatures, research hotspots and fronts of nanotechnology in the field of vacuum.

Highlights

  • CiteSpace is used to detect and analyze the emerging trends in the research fronts of subjects, and the relationship of their research fronts, intellectual bases and other research fronts

  • One of important features of CiteSpace is detection of burst term which relies on the level of frequency and trend of the words, owning high frequency change rates detected from a lot of phrases by examining the time distribution of frequency, to determine the fronts of the evolution of a field

  • The visual maps can help us understand the distribution of research institutions and cooperation, high-impact authors, core literatures, research hotspots and fronts of nanotechnology in the field of vacuum

Summary

Introduction

CiteSpace is used to detect and analyze the emerging trends in the research fronts of subjects, and the relationship of their research fronts, intellectual bases and other research fronts. It can be more intuitive to recognize the evolving paths of subject fronts and classic basal literatures in subject areas by employing the visualized literature information. It is mainly equipped with the following visual features: co-cited articles analysis, co-occurring terms analysis, institution cooperation analysis, author co-citation analysis, authors cooperation analysis and so on. We analyze the nanotechnology-related references on JVST by using CiteSpace to obtain visual maps. The visual maps can help us understand the distribution of research institutions and cooperation, high-impact authors, core literatures, research hotspots and fronts of nanotechnology in the field of vacuum.
