Abstract:

Based on CiteSpace, this paper conducted a visual analysis on the literature related to Hibiscus mutabilis in CNKI, aiming to summarize the existing research results of H. mutabilis, explore its future research trend and development direction, and provide reference for future research of H. mutabilis. Advanced search was conducted in the CNKI Chinese database with the theme of ‘H. mutabilis’. Relevant literature from 1958 to 2022 was selected, and the documents were imported into CiteSpace. The author, institution, Keyword and other options were selected to obtain the relevant knowledge map. The results showed that: (1) the research progress of H. mutabilis could be divided into three stages: 1958-1987 was the initial discovery stage, with a small number of literature and a single direction; 1988-2009 was the stage of slow exploration, the number of annual papers increased slowly, breaking through to double digits; 2010-2022 was the stage of rapid growth, the number of papers issued increased rapidly and the research directions increased. (2) A core author and a core organization had been formed in the research field, and there was a close relationship with the authors in the organization. However, institutions were independent from each other and had not established cooperative relations. (3) The research scope of H. mutabilis was concentrated, with high homogeneity, and less overlapping between clustering and clustering. In the future, we should strengthen the cooperation between institutions and make the research of H. mutabilis more diversified, mainly focusing on the promotion and application, the edible and ornamental aspects of H. mutabilis.
