Objectives: To analyze the research status of forensic medicine in China from 2010 to 2019, obtain the development trend of forensic medicine and explore the hotspots and research frontiers.
Methods: The forensic medical academic papers published on China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database from 2010 to 2019 were collected. CiteSpace 5.7.R1, an information visualization analysis software, was used to analyze publication organizations, authors, keywords, and other elements.
Results: The majority of the research institutions were universities, provincial and ministerial scientific research and forensic institutions. Forensic pathology was still an important branch of forensic medicine and a popular research direction. The "polymorphism" and "Y chromosome" had been the research hotspots in recent years. "Medical damage" and "standard" were the most novel studies.
Conclusions: In order to provide scientific basis and research direction for forensic research, this paper analyzes the cooperation network, research hotspots and research innovation in forensic research.
目的: 分析2010—2019年我国法医学研究现状，梳理法医学研究领域的发展趋势，探索当前科研热点和前沿。方法: 汇总中国知网（CNKI）数据库2010—2019年刊登的法医学相关学术论文，利用信息可视化分析软件CiteSpace 5.7.R1分别对发文机构、作者、关键词等元素进行分析。结果: 法医学的研究机构主要集中在高校和省部级科研、鉴定机构；法医病理学仍然是法医学研究的重要分支学科及研究热点方向；法医物证学的“多态现象”和“Y染色体”为近年来的研究热点；“医疗损害”和“标准”的研究最具有新颖性。结论: 对法医学研究中合作网络、研究热点以及研究创新点进行分析，可为法医学研究提供科技信息和研究方向。.
