| Abstract |
Smart city is emerging as a new target for urban development and management across the world. This paper, based on the literatures found in core journals at WOS and CNKI, analyzes 1,174 domestic and overseas literatures on smart city and creates knowledge graphs by Citespace, for the purpose of examining the research status of smart city. Through the quantitative analysis to years, regions, authors, research institutions and keywords of the literatures, it is found that domestic and overseas literatures on the whole resemble each other in quantity, both showing a trend of common concern on many disciplines. With respect to the variation of hot words, however, domestic researches on smart city show no obvious trend and employ single research method with an absence of theory localization. In this regard, it is suggested that domestic scholars should strengthen their cooperation, remain concerned about the foreign research trend, integrate more theories and methods, and probe into the issues of instructive significance to practice. |
