中文摘要：

本研究对2000年至2016年间发表的幽默加工领域的文献进行了科学计量学综述，研究通过对文献共被引网络的聚类和可视化分析，识别出幽默加工领域的研究主题，并通过对突现文献的分析识别出该领域的新兴发展趋势。研究为了更全面的搜集与幽默加工研究相关的文献，运用了主题词检索和拓展引文检索的方式，共得到816条文献记录和42，687条引文以供本研究分析。研究发现幽默加工领域的文献共被引网络中共有10个聚类。社会认知和功能性核磁共振研究是该知识领域中两大重要的基础性研究。幽默加工的性格研究和右脑在加工过程中的作用研究同样受到了学者们更多的关注。另外六个研究聚类包括幽默加工领域中的两性选择、比喻性语言、偏见、面部表情、睡眠剥夺和婴儿的幽默感知研究。本研究还对该领域的引文进行了突现检测以分析幽默加工领域未来的研究趋势。

英文摘要：

The scientific literature of humor processing between 2000 and 2016 was reviewed by means of scientometric methods. The clustered and visualized document co-citation network of the humor processing knowledge domain was analyzed in terms of common topics and content of co-cited references. Emerging trends of humor processing were detected through reference citation bursts. The combined dataset of 816 bibliographic records and 42,687 references was compiled through a basic topic search. In order to ensure adequate coverage of the field, the search was expanded to include literature that referenced literature found in the initial basic topic search. Results produced a document co-citation network of humor processing with ten clusters, which showed that social cognition and fMRI study both served as important foundations for work in this knowledge domain. Personality studies in humor processing as well as research about the right hemisphere＇s role in humor processing also received considerable attention. These key areas of study accounted for 4 clusters. The remaining six clusters included studies on sexual selection, figurative language, prejudice, facial expression, sleep deprivation and infant humor perception associated with the knowledge domain. In this study, burst detection in references revealed topics of high interest to researchers as well as emerging trends in humor processing research.
