Research Hotspots and Trends of Animal Disease Risk Assessment in China According to Visual Analysis Based on Citespace
In order to explore the research hotspots and trends of animal disease risk assessment in China,348 articles concerning such risk assessment registered in the database of CNKI during 2000 to 2019 were retrieved and analyzed by CiteSpace software based on their time and space as well as contents. It was shown that,by the temporal and spatial analysis,the number of literature on risk assessment went through a dynamic process from emerging to increasing then to decreasing in the past 20 years,and fewer major institutes cooperated with each others. The contents of the literature were analyzed,it was found that“risk assessment”,“risk analysis”and“animal disease prevention and control”were the research hotspots. Therefore,institutes should strengthen their inputs in animal disease risk assessment,and increase cooperation with each others,so as to push forward the study,analysis and supervision concerning risk assessment,improve early warning system,and to further upgrade the control level of animal diseases. Some references were provided to further the study and practice of risk assessment and early warning.
