Using CiteSpace-based on CNKI Literature Visualization Analysis to Examine the Research Progress (2007-2023) on China’s Social Psychological Service System
A visualization analysis was conducted using CiteSpace on 374 articles in the CNKI database on China’s social psychological service system from 2007 to 2023. It was found that the number of articles published in this field was “initially low, then high, and tends to be stable”, forming three stages of development: preliminary exploration, high-speed development, and deepening development. 215 effective authors and 194 publishing institutions have been generated, among which a group of author cooperation groups and institutional cooperation groups have been formed, and 29 core authors and 10 core institutions have been generated; However, there are issues with limited and loose cooperation between the author and the institution, as well as the lack of significant synergy. Five research hotspots have been identified, including social governance, mental health, social mentality, social psychology, and psychological services; However, there is still room for improvement in the popularity, quantity, and concentration of research hotspots. The future research on the social psychological service system will be carried out from four aspects: “closely maintaining a high correlation with national development”, “gradually establishing cooperative research in related disciplines”, “continuously conducting empirical research with Chinese characteristics”, and “continuously forming new theoretical and practical research hotspots”.
