中文摘要：

运用文献计量学方法,依据Web of Science的SCI数据库所收录1979—2016年的吉丁虫研究文献,从文献产出、国家/地区、机构、作者、期刊、学科领域、关键词以及国际间合作等几个方面,分析吉丁虫的研究现状以及发展前沿。结果表明：论文发表数量、参与的国家、机构和作者数呈增长趋势,所涉及的学科领域渐广,各国间的合作研究成果逐渐显著;但文章主要发表于《Coleopterists Bulletin》和《Zootaxa》等中等影响力的期刊反映其研究上的弱势;频次较高的Buprestidae（吉丁虫科）、Coleoptera（鞘翅目）、taxonomy（分类）、biological control（生物学控制）、new species（新种）等关键词也表明吉丁虫基础性研究发展较好,而分子生物、基因研究方面等将是未来研究方向。

英文摘要：

Based on science citation index （SCI） database at Web of Science, a bibliometric method was adopted to evaluate publications on jewel beetles from 1979 to 2016. A quantitative objection analysis of the published output, countries/institutions, authors, journals, subject categories, keywords and international cooperation was conducted to obtain the progress and prospect of the research on the jewel beetles. The results showed： The number of total papers （TP）, countries （CY）, institutions and authors （AU） increased gradually in recent years. And the research on jewel beetles involved multi-disciplinary fields. The positive results achieved by cooperation between the countries came to be significant. However, most papers published in medium-influential journals like Coleopterists Bulletin and Zootaxa, reflecting the weakness of jewel beetles＇ research. The increase in the appearance frequency of keywords such as ＂Buprestidae＂, ＂Coleoptera＂,＂taxonomy＂, ＂biological control＂, and ＂new species＂ in the field of jewel beetles reflected the excellent basic research and development, and molecular biology and genome research would most likely be the further research direction.
