Shan, Liang; Zhang, Qiqi Analysis of knowledge graph of floating population at home and abroad based on Cite Space. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 1474.91131 J. Liaoning Norm. Univ., Nat. Sci. 43, No. 3, 392-400 (2020). Summary: Based on the Cite Space software, this paper makes a visual analysis of the literature related to the floating population in the WOS and CNKI databases from 1990 to 2019. The results show that there are large differences between domestic and foreign scholars on the issue of floating population. Firstly, the amount of WOS posts is higher than that of CNKI. Secondly, they have different research perspectives. Under the background of globalization and the change of natural environment, foreign scholars analyze the migration and flow characteristics of special population and the influence of micro factors such as life style and neighborhood relationship on population flow with the help of case study and econometric model, while domestic scholars mainly explore the current situation of the spatial distribution, mobility trends, and spatial and temporal patterns of floating populations. Thirdly, the research institutes have different ways of cooperation. The cooperation of domestic institutions on this issue is relatively scattered, and the form of cooperation is mostly internal cooperation with different disciplines of the institutions, while the cooperation network of foreign institutions is closer and most of them are transnational, interdisciplinary and trans-regional cooperation. Fourthly, they have different research evolution paths. Domestic researches mainly rely on national policies and economic environment, while foreign researches are based on global economic and environmental changes. In the future, domestic scholars should closely link research on floating population with national development policies and strengthen cooperation among different disciplines, different regions and different countries, so as to provide theoretical and empirical basis for promoting new urbanization and narrowing the development gap between urban and rural areas.
