Abstract

Since “the Belt and Road” initiative was proposed， the research at home and abroad in this field has been increasingly fruitful. This paper analyzed international collaboration research papers on the “Belt and Road” from January 2013 to January 2021 based on Bibliometrics and visualization tools： CiteSpace， InCite and Excel. The research results show the following findings： The international academic community pays great attention to the construction of “the Belt and Road”， and the number of published papers has shown a rapid and steady growth. The number of countries and regions participating in the research has also been increasing year by year， and formed a global cooperative research network with China as the core， the United States， U.K， Australia， New Zealand and Canada as the focus， and Tsinghua University， Asia University and University of Sydney as the hub. The research scale and influence of developed countries and regions are generally larger and higher than that in Asia and other countries and regions. The existing studies mainly focus on China’?s status and China’?s policies， diversified trade， foreign direct investment， logistics infrastructure， green economy， energy cooperation， efficiency cooperation and sustainable development. In the future， attention should be paid to strengthening the cooperation between authors and institutions in the international field， expanding the breadth and depth of cooperative research； enriching the research level， continuing to deepen micro-level applied research on the basis of improving theoretical research， expanding research methods by increasing the proportion of quantitative research and laying emphasis on the comprehensive application of analytical tools in empirical research； and broadening the research content and promoting the research on innovation-driven， green development and sustainable development that are in line with China’s conditions and global situation.
