Research on New Forms of Human Civilization from the Perspective of Knowledge Graph: Hotspot Identification, Evolution Path, and Frontier Dynamics

The "New Form of Human Civilization" is a significant innovation in political discourse and academic discourse. Currently, the research on the "New Form of Human Civilization" in the theoretical community has shown multiple and comprehensive blooms. In order to systematically grasp the research laws of new forms of human civilization, 400 high-quality literature in the core paper database of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were used as research samples. The knowledge graph analysis was conducted using CO-Occurrence and VOSviewer scientific literature metrology and visualization tools to analyze the overall overview, hot topic focus, evolution path, and cutting-edge dynamics of the research results of new forms of human civilization. The results showed that research on new forms of human civilization can be divided into initial exploration period and deepening expansion period. This field of research has significant policy orientation and distinct era theme, and has not yet formed an author cooperation network group; The main publishing institutions are universities and are relatively concentrated. The linkage mechanism for paired research between universities and research institutes still needs to be established, and the overall research pattern is clearly fragmented; Academic journals that publish research on new forms of human civilization are relatively scattered; At present, a tightly connected network centered around the "new form of human civilization" has been formed, forming a total of 5 clusters; Following the evolution path of "Chinese path to modernization of a community with a shared future for mankind in a new form of human civilization"; The research topic is divergent, the time span is short, and the distribution is uneven. The methods are mainly qualitative research, with less quantitative research. The research process shows a phased nature, which is the forefront of research on the new form of human civilization. Finally, research prospects were proposed.
