英文摘要：

[ Purpose/Significance] As the integration point of the two national development strategies of innovation-driven development and green development, green innovation has become the hotspot concern of the public. Aiming to clarify the hot topics and evolution path of Chinese green innovation research, this study provides clear guidance and direction for subsequent research, and will help to promote green innovation research in China systematicaUy and deeply. [ Method/Process] Based on research papers in CNKI database from 1994 to 2015 in the field of green innovation, a visualization analysis is presented on the hot topics and evolution path of Chinese green innovation research by using co-word analysis and Cite Space m software. [ Result/Conclusion] The results show that the hot topics of Chinese green innovation research in the past 20 years involved six areas, such as connotation and basic characteristics of green innovation, and green innovation and sustainable development, etc. From the research focus evolution point of view, it is found that green innovation research shows a diversified development trend, and the research method has changed from the general qualitative research, simple case analysis studies and other methods to empirical research and qualitative research methods.
