我国元宇宙发展研究热点分析与趋势展望——基于CiteSpace的可视化分析

Hotspots Analysis and Prospect of the Development of the Metaverse Research in China:Visual Analysis Based on Citespace

[目的/意义]系统分析我国元宇宙发展的现状,旨在揭示元宇宙研究中的技术应用及风险与挑战,有助于把握元宇宙发展方向。[方法/过程]选取中国知网2016—2023年间元宇宙发展领域相关文献作为样本,运用CiteSpace软件对元宇宙发展研究的文献资料作研究历程、研究力量、研究热点及具体趋势的可视化分析,揭示元宇宙研究的发展态势与演变趋势。[结果/结论]元宇宙发展研究成果整体呈现出“缓慢增加—急剧增加—平稳发展”的发展态势,具体以2021年为关键时间节点,元宇宙发展研究成果呈现井喷式增长的特点。研究关注点主要聚焦于技术维度的元宇宙具体技术和实际应用以及风险维度的技术风险、文化价值风险、生命异化风险、经济风险、社会风险等。各大高校学院是现阶段元宇宙发展研究的核心力量,但在地域空间上呈现出东多西少的分布特征且机构间以就近合作为主。最后指出未来元宇宙发展可引入敏捷治理思维应对各类风险,加强元宇宙技术在政务服务、医疗健康与文化旅游等领域的应用力度。同时需要加强中西部合作交流,进而丰富元宇宙研究成果。

[Purpose/Significance]This paper systematically analyzes the current situation of metaverse development in China,aiming to reveal the application of technology,risks,and challenges in the study of metaverse,and helping to grasp the direction of metaverse development.[Method/Process]By selecting the relevant literature in the field of metaverse development from CNKI during 2016-2023 as samples,CiteSpace software was used to make a visual analysis of the research process,research strength,research hotspot and specific trend of the literature on metaverse development research,to reveal the development trend and evolution trend of metaverse research.[Result/Conclusion]Metaverse development research results show an overall development trend of“slow increase-sharp increase-steady development”.Specifically,with 2021 as the key time node,metaverse research results show a blowout growth.The research focuses on the specific technologies and practical applications of the metaverse in the technical dimension,as well as the risk dimension of technological risk,cultural value risk,life alienation risk,economic risk,social risk,and so on.Major universities and colleges are the core forces of metaverse development research at this stage,but geospatially the distribution is more in the east than in the west,and inter-institutional co-operation is dominated by proximity.Finally,it is pointed out that the future development of the metaverse can introduce agile governance thinking to deal with various risks and strengthen the application of metaverse technology in the fields of government service,medical health,and cultural tourism.At the same time,it is necessary to strengthen cooperation and exchanges in the central and western regions,to enrich the research achievements of the metaverse.
