Abstract:
In order to understand the research situation of Juncao in China, the bibliometric analysis method was used to search the research literatures on Juncao in CNKI database and VIP database from 2007 to 2021, in order to statistically analyze the information including the publication year of literature, citation amount of literature, disciplinary distribution of literature, research topics, research institutions, authors, and research hotspots. The results showed that a total of 441 valid literatures were retrieved from 2007 to 2021, including 402 journal papers, 37 master's theses and 2 doctoral theses. The number of journal articles increased year by year, with a total of 322 articles from 2015 to 2021, accounting for 80.1%; there were 1849 citation quantity, of which 1668 were the high-frequency citations during 2012-2020, accounting for 90.2%.
