中文摘要：

利用CiteSpace 软件对2016年度岩溶领域发表论文的关键词进行文献计量学分析,以便获取该领域研究热点和方向,进而为国内外学者及时凝练研究目标和寻找后续研究的突破口等提供科学依据。通过Web of Science核心合集数据库,以“Karst”或“Stalagmite”为主题词,检索到795 篇论文,在国际上的热点问题涉及“岩溶水文地球化学”、“岩溶石漠化与岩溶生物地球化学”、“全球变化与古环境重建”和“岩溶工程与地质灾害”。中国在国际岩溶研究领域成果丰硕,充分发挥了中国岩溶研究的地域优势,但国际间合作有待加强。而通过中国知网（CNKI）,以“岩溶”或“喀斯特”或“石笋”为主题词,检索EI来源期刊、核心期刊和CSSCI共得到677篇论文,在国内关注的热点问题主要涉及“岩溶水文地球化学”、“岩溶石漠化与岩溶生物地球化学”、“岩溶油气资源”和“岩溶工程与地质灾害”。通过对比国内外研究热点问题,可以看出中国学者对国内外岩溶领域的关注点有所不同。

英文摘要：

Karst is a special type of landscape that is formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks and forces the investigators to pay attention to hydrological and ecological problems, karst hazards, karst management, and the sustainability of karst environments, etc. To better explore the research hotspots of karst in 2016, 1472 papers included in the Web of Science （WoS） and China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI） were collected and the CiteSpace software was used to generate visualizing information for bibliometrics analysis. The frontiers in the karst research can be reflected, which provides the basis information for scholars to achieve concise objectives and find breakthrough innovation in the future. When karst or stalagmite was selected as the key word, 795 SCI papers published in 2016 were collected. The clustering results of key words in 795 papers showed that the main research hotspots were “karst hydrochemistry”, “karst rocky desertification and biogeochemistry”, “climate change and paleoenvironmental reconstruction” and “karst engineering and hazard”. China has made great contributions to these papers on karst research, which reflects the regional comparative advantage on karst research in China, though Chinese scholars are lacking in the tight linkage with scholars from other countries. Moreover, 677 papers were collected when karst or stalagmite was chosen as the key word in CNKI. The clustering data showed that the main research hotspots in CNKI were “karst hydrochemistry”, “karst rocky desertification and biogeochemistry”, “karst oil and gas resources” and “karst engineering and hazard”. From the above results, it was found that domestic and international research hotspots of karst were different.
