基于基本科学指标数据库(ESI)和Citespace对生物医用高分子材料学科领域前沿热点进行追踪, 采用两种评价方法进行分析对比, 结果显示, 通过两种数据分析工具的结合, 可以全面展示该领域的研究前沿。两种方法得到的研究热点大致相同, 对于尚无热点论文呈现的ESI方法, 可以结合Citesapce分析工具展现学科最新发展方向。通过ESI施引文献可以追踪主题发展, 研究主体的变化, 通过Citespace可以挖掘全球主要国家/地区的研究关注点。为科研合作和科研设计提供参考。

ESI and Citespace were adopted to track the frontier hot spots in the field of biomedical polymer materials, and the two evaluation methods were used for analysis and comparison.The results showed that the combination of the two data analysis tools could fully display the research frontier in this field.The research hotspots obtained by the two methods were roughly the same.For ESI method, which had no hot papers presented, the latest development direction of the discipline could be demonstrated by combining with Citesapce analysis tool.The development of topics and the changes of research subjects can be tracked through ESI citation, and the research concerns of major countries/regions in the world can be explored through Citespace.It provides a reference for scientific research cooperation and design.
