ABSTRACT

In order to clearly understand the current research hot spots and future development trends in the field of sharing economy, CiteSpace V information visualization analysis software was used to conduct information mining on the research results of 5491 documents in the field of sharing economy from 2008 to 2017 in the Web of Science database. From three aspects: annual distribution of literature, keyword co-occurrence network, and research time zone trends, charts and knowledge maps are drawn to sort out the research context and intuitively reveal the research hot spots and future development trends of the sharing economy. The results of the research analysis show that the number of research documents on the sharing economy has gradually increased every year from 2008 to 2017; the research hotspots of the sharing economy can be divided into three levels: macroeconomics, national policy, and environmental protection. The research hotspots of the sharing economy mainly include model, consumption, optimization, sustainability, energy, etc.; the future research trend of the sharing economy is the study of greenhouse gas emissions.
