Herein, we conduct a systematic statistical analysis of the contribution of Chinese geographers to sustainable development research using bibliometric methods. Based on the review of a vast amount of literature, we identify the main research teams, research funding sources, journals, and key research fields. The findings are as follows：（1） the resources and environmental institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have a significant influence on sustainable development research;（2） China＇s central government foundations（the National Natural Science Foundation of China and National Social Sciences Fund） are the main research funding sources;（3） most of the highly cited articles are published in journals sponsored by the Geographical Society of China; and（4） sustainable development theory and its research areas are being constantly enriched and perfected. Based on the statistics of keywords, the theory, research methods, research regional scales, and key research areas are summarized and expounded.展开更多
