Abstract

Taking “gas” and “safety” as the theme, this paper adopts bibliometric method and visual analysis method, and makes use of CiteSpace software to analyze the current research situation in the field of domestic gas safety in terms of keywords, authors, institutions, etc. , understand the research process hot spots and risk points, in order to better promote gas safety management. The results show that at present, there are many hot spots in gas safety research, especially in safety management. Many excellent authoritative scholars published papers, some of the key authors have initially established a small-scale literature cooperation network and close contact. In contrast, the agency appears slightly single, the research force is more scattered. More universities should be encouraged to participate in research on related topics, and inter-agency cooperation and exchanges at a deeper level should be strengthened to share development results and gradually form stable cooperation clusters.
