This article will explain what kind of software citespace is for you in detail. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Citespace is a software used in scientific literature to identify and show new trends and developments of scientific development, and it is also a very practical visual analysis software, especially in scientific citation analysis, which is supported and developed by Professor Chen Meichao.

CiteSpace is a category of Miscellaneous Shareware software developed by Chaomei Chen, Drexel University. Is a software used in scientific literature to identify and display new trends and developments in scientific development. Use Citespace to find the research progress and current research frontiers in a certain discipline, as well as the corresponding knowledge base. Citespace is a very practical visual analysis software, especially in scientific citation analysis, supported by Professor Chen Meichao. It is mainly used to analyze co-citation networks.

Related introduction:

To understand CSCI, we have to start with SCI.

SCI, whose full name is Science Citation Index, is a world-famous periodical literature retrieval tool published by the American Institute of Scientific Information (Institute for Scientific Information, referred to as ISI). Its publishing form includes printed periodicals, CD-ROM and online databases, as well as Web databases on the Internet. SCI contains about 3500 core journals of natural sciences published all over the world, such as number, science, chemistry, agriculture, forestry, medicine, life science, astronomy, geography, environment, materials, engineering technology and so on.

ISI selects publication sources through its strict journal selection criteria and evaluation procedures, and increases or decreases slightly every year, so that the literature included by SCI can fully cover the most important and influential research results in the world. ISI's so-called most influential research results means that the literature reporting these results is widely cited by other literature. For this reason, as a retrieval tool, SCI sets up a unique "citation index" (Citation Index), contrary to the conventional practice of other retrieval tools to retrieve documents by topic or classification. That is, through the citation of the previous literature by the current literature, to illustrate the correlation between the literature and the influence of the previous literature on the current literature.

Because of the above characteristics of SCI, SCI is not only used as a document retrieval tool, but also a basis for scientific research evaluation. The total number of papers included in scientific research institutions by SCI reflects the scientific research level of the whole institution, especially basic research; the number of individual papers included by SCI and the number of citations reflect his research ability and academic level.
