基于CiteSpace的国内外医学英语研究进展对比分析

Advances in medical English research at home and abroad:A comparative study based on CiteSpace

目的梳理2012至2022年国内外医学英语研究现状,分析国内外研究发展趋势和热点话题。方法搜集近11年国内外核心期刊发表的医学英语研究论文,运用Excel对中外文献随年份变化的情况和高产期刊发文情况进行统计分析,使用CiteSpace进行关键词共现和聚类分析。结果国内医学英语研究发文数量总体呈曲折下降趋势,而国外则呈波动上升趋势。国内医学英语的研究主要发表在医学类期刊,而国外主要发表在语言类期刊。国内外医学英语的研究热点涵盖医学英语教育、医学语篇、医学词汇、医学沟通和英语学术发表。国内外研究的共性是关注医学英语教育和医学论文;差异体现在国内学者更关注双语教学模式、英语教学改革和医学词汇,而国外更重视跨语言文化的医学沟通和二语医学学者的英语学术发表。结论近11年国内外医学英语研究在发展趋势、高产期刊以及研究热点上存在一定差异。

Objective To investigate the current research status,research development trends and hotspots from 2012 to 2022 at home and abroad.Methods This study collected medical English research articles published in core journals at home and abroad in the past 11 years.Changes in the number of published articles over the years and high-yield journal publications at home and abroad were analyzed using Excel,followed by keyword co-occurrence and cluster analysis using CiteSpace.Results The number of medical English research articles published in China between years has shown a downward trend,while foreign countries have shown a fluctuating upward trend.Medical English research articles in China were mainly published in medical journals,while those in foreign countries were mainly published in language journals.Research hotspots in medical English at home and abroad covered medical English education,medical discourse,medical vocabulary,medical communication and English academic publication.Both domestic and foreign studies focus on medical English education and medical research articles;as for differences,domestic scholars pay more attention to bilingual teaching mode,English teaching reform and medical vocabulary,while foreign scholars focus more on interlingual and intercultural medical communication and English academic publications by second-language medical scholars.Conclusions There are certain differences in development trends,high-yield journals,and research hotspots of medical English research at home and abroad in the past 11 years.
