基于文献计量学指标的法医病理学研究状况分析

Bibliometric Visualization Analysis of Forensic Pathology Literature Based on Bibliometric Indicators

应用CiteSpace软件对中国知网(CNKI)收录、法医病理学相关文献的研究状况及发展趋势进行计量学可视化分析,探索该学科领域研究前沿、热点,梳理相关鉴定难点。汇总《法医学杂志》《中国法医学杂志》《中国司法鉴定》《刑事技术》刊载的法医病理学相关文献,通过CiteSpace分析其关键词、作者、发文机构及所在地、基金资助等元素。法医病理学作为法医学的主干学科,科研成果多侧重死后变化及相关规律,多由各院校法医学专业和公安机关从事本学科科研和鉴定,获基金资助比重明显高于其他分支学科。作为起源最早的法医学分支学科,法医病理学研究热点始终围绕在死亡原因、方式、时间推断等问题,大量成果借助高效的技术、方法,以科研产出辅助查明鉴定实践问题。法医病理学历史悠久,利用CiteSpace对其文献进行计量学可视化分析,精确定量回溯该学科进程的科学认识阶段,提示科研创新需求和学科发展方向,从源头上增强法医病理学科的创新能力。

Objective To conduct bibliometric visualization analysis on the research status and development trend of forensic pathology related literatures accepted by China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)by CiteSpace,and to explore the research frontiers and hotspots of the field and summarize the related identification difficulties.Methods The forensic pathology related literatures that were published on Journal of Forensic Medicine,Chinese Journal of Forensic Medicine,Chinese Journal of Forensic Sciences and Forensic Science and Technology were summarized,then analyzed in terms of elements such as keywords,authors,publication institutions and their locations and fundings by CiteSpace.Results As a major discipline of forensic science,research outcomes on forensic pathology have mostly focused on postmortem change and relative laws,while the research and identification of this discipline are mostly carried out by the forensic major in various colleges and public security organs,with a share of funding significantly higher than other subdisciplines.Conclusion As the earliest forensic sub-discipline,the research hotspots of forensic pathology have always focused on the causes,manner,and estimation of time of death and so on.A large number of outcomes have been assisted by effective techniques and methods,and identification practice problems were identified with assistance of research outputs.Forensic pathology has a long history,and bibliometric visualization analysis of it was conducted by CiteSpace,to accurately and quantitatively trace back the scientific cognition stage of the development of the discipline,suggest the need of scientific research innovation and the direction of discipline development,and strengthen the innovation ability of the forensic pathology discipline from the source.
