The status of distance education research of China in 2013 is objectively reviewed and analyzed quantitatively from the aspects of research topic, research method, principal researcher and co-occurrence analysis by means of content analysis, metaanalysis and social network analysis. The findings are the following: (1) Distance teaching and learning, management, resource, learn-er, technology and media are the Annual Hot Topics; (2) Open University, interaction, MOOCs, mobile learning, open course, learning resource, network course, influencing factor, e-learning, fine quality course, learning support service, investigation, learning platform and lifelong learning are the Annual Hot Words; (3) The practice research is on the absolute mainstream, while the basic theory re-search is very weak. The awareness should be raised to develop standard application of research methods, and quantitative research has gradually become the mainstream. Research power distribution is not balanced, which is mainly concentrated in the economically developed areas and non-distance education institutions.%采用内容分析、元分析和社会网络分析等非反应测量法，从研究主题、研究方法、研究主体、主要共现等多重角度，对2013年度我国远程教育研究进行计量分析和客观述评。远程教与学、管理、资源、学习者、技术与媒体等是年度热点主题，开放大学、交互、MOOCs、移动学习、开放课程、学习资源、网络课程、影响因素、网络学习、精品课程、学习支持服务、调查研究、学习平台、终身学习等是年度热词；观照实践的应用研究是绝对主流，基础理论研究明显薄弱；研究方法的规范应用意识仍需进一步提升，定量研究渐成主流；研究力量分布不均衡，主要集中在经济发达地区和非远程教育机构。
