摘要
This study investigates the use and citation of CiteSpace, a freely available tool for analysing, detecting and visualizing trends and patterns in scientific literature, by examining how it is used and cited among the articles published in English and Chinese core journals. Results show that CiteSpace is widely used in China along with a substantial uncitedness. The number of Chinese articles using CiteSpace is obviously increasing, while the citation rate of CiteSpace is not increasing over time. Many Chinese authors do not provide sufficient information for identifying CiteSpace Findings also show that CiteSpace used in English core journal articles is more likely to receive citations than that used in Chinese core journal articles. Moreover, our results demonstrate that there are significant differences in citation counts between sections containing CiteSpace.
