运用科学计量学的最新可视化技术(CiteSpace软件)对与工程伦理相关的数据进行处理之后,可以形成工程伦理前沿领域的知识图谱。通过分析所形成的知识图谱,可以看出工程伦理研究所形成的不同的前沿知识聚类,了解工程伦理不同领域的研究现状与前沿,并描绘出工程伦理所经历的学科基础形成、学科领域拓展、学科拓展与纵深发展并存三个不同的演进阶段。对这些问题的分析和把握,可以对我国工程伦理的研究和发展起到一定促进作用。
Applying the latest visualization technique in scientometrics,i.e.,the software CiteSpace,to processing the data related to engineering ethics,knowledge maps can be formed in the frontiers of engineering ethics.Then,analyzing the mapping knowledge domains formed,the different knowledge clusters resulting from the research on engineering ethics becomes visual,thus understanding the status quo and frontiers of the research on engineering ethics in different fields.In addition,the three different evolution processes of the engineering ethics are described including the formation of disciplinary fundamentals,extention of disciplinary field and its in-depth exploration.Grasping the information above will benefit the research on engineering ethics in China.
