Abstract:

A sample set of 1045 papers on the research field of information literacy included in Chinese Humanities and Social Science Citation Database was analyzed with the statistical analysis software (SPSS, Ucinet) as well as scientific visualization software (CiteSpaceⅡ、Sci²). This paper took the co-word analysis method to analyze high frequency keywords, and used technologies of burst detection、multivariate analysis and social network analysis to draw the temporal graph, clustering graph ,multidimensional scaling map, network knowledge map, and strategic diagram. Six important research areas of information literacy were revealed by the consistency between clustering analysis and multidimensional scaling analysis results, and figured out relations and features of subject areas by interpreting the network knowledge map and strategic diagram.

Key words: Information literacy, 　Temporal analysis, 　Cluster analysis, 　Multidimensional scaling analysis, 　Strategic diagram
