Comparative Analysis of Mathematics Research in English and Chinese: A Bibliometric Study (2010–2025)
摘要
This study provides a bibliometric analysis of the mathematics published literature written in English and Chinese over the period 2010–2025. This study implements Scopus analytics to outline both the publication trends and geographic distribution, and VOSviewer visualization to analyze the researched topics of the two languages. The analysis exposes the dominant trends in mathematical research output, international collaboration networks, and disciplinary specialization in English versus Chinese-language scholarship. The main findings are: the growth of Chinese mathematics research is very fast but types of publication have different themes, and the patterns of international collaboration have changed over time. However, the research also sheds some light on the internationalization of the production of mathematical knowledge and the implications for scientific communication in mathematics.
