目标：本文报告了社会工作领域的第一个科学图谱分析，展示了其概念结构和科学演变。方法：科学图谱分析软件工具是一种基于共词分析和 h 指数的文献计量科学图谱工具，以 1930 年至 2012 年在 Web of Science 索引的 25 种主要社会工作期刊上发表的 18,794 篇研究论文为样本进行应用。结果：已发表的社会工作领域研究集中于八个主要主题领域：儿童、社会服务、医疗保健、暴力、妇女、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、社会工作者和教育。艾滋病毒/艾滋病和暴力最近引起了社会词科学界的兴趣，而其余的经典主题领域仍然吸引着研究人员的兴趣和努力。结论：这一概念和实证分析显示了研究主题在社会工作中是如何演变的。
Objectives: This article reports the first science mapping analysis of the social work field, which shows its conceptual structure and scientific evolution.Methods: Science Mapping Analysis Software Tool, a bibliometric science mapping tool based on co-word analysis and h-index, is applied using a sample of 18,794 research articles published from 1930 to 2012 in 25 main social work journals indexed in the Journal Citation Reports of the Web of Science.Results: Published research social work field concentrated in eight main thematic areas: children, social services, health care, violence, women, HIV/AIDS, social workers, and education. HIV/AIDS and violence have recently attracted the interest of the social word scientific community, while the rest are classical thematic areas that still attract the interest and efforts of the researchers.Conclusion: This conceptual and empirical analysis shows how research themes have evolved in social work.
