A Scientometric Analysis of Research Advances in China’s Eco-Translatology Studies (2008-2021)

摘要

Eco-translatology is an interdisciplinary study of ecology and translation. With the help of CiteSpace developed by Professor Chen Chaomei and other statistical tools, this paper draws a knowledge graph of journal papers in the CNKI database of eco-translatology from 2008 to 2021, aiming to vividly and intuitively show the general situation. These hot spots and evolving trends in eco-transla- tology studies are under widespread scrutiny and investigation by Chinese authors. By dissecting the distribution of papers by the year of publication, co-oc- currence keywords network, keyword betweenness centrality and the distribution of articles by institutions, the study has discovered that foreign propaganda translation and public signs translation are key research domains of eco-transla- tology, thus the interaction between Chinese authors and institutions in various institutions is generally presented.
