To integrally grasp domestic emergency rescue research trends, 1693 documentary records published in core periodicals from 2000 to 2019 recorded in CNKI database serve as data sources, and the data sources are subjected to data visualization analysis with CiteSpace V, including sequential maps of research results, subject distribution, author cooperation, institution cooperation, keyword and document co-citation, analysis of burst terms, etc. According to the research results, domestic emergency rescue research paper is in line with Price Logistic growth curve. Journal of Safety Science and Technology, China Safety Science Journal, Fire Science and Technology and Safety in Coal Mines are core periodicals in the emergency rescue field; core authors include Guo Qiyun, Xia Yixue, Guo Deyong, et al; institutions are concentrated in China Academy of safety production science, the Chinese people"s Armed Police Force Academy and China University of Mining and Technology. And the relationship network between author cooperation and institution cooperation is relatively loose; emergency rescue and emergency management are hot keywords in the field; and burst terms such as “multi objective optimization” and “emergency supplies” represents hot-point and frontier of the current emergency rescue research.
