基于Citespace的我国第三方物流研究现状与发展方向
Research Status and Development Direction of Third Party Logistics in China Based on Citespace

物流被称为“第三方利润源泉”，而第三方物流作为物流服务的重要组成部分，是独立于供需双方，为客户提供专项或全面的物流系统设计或系统运营的一种物流服务模式，对我国社会物流的发展具有重大意义。本研究利用信息可视化软件Citespace对2002~2021年以第三方物流为关键词的学术论文进行信息挖掘分析，绘制出知识图谱，进一步归纳总结出第三方物流领域的知识结构关系等。本文发现：从发文量来看，由于2001年国内首次提出“第三方物流”相关概念，因此以第三方物流为主要研究热点的学术研究处在基础研究阶段且发文量较少；2011~2014年，每年平均发文量在47篇左右且存在少许波动，处在较为稳定的增长期；2015~2019年发文量出现显著增长现象，2019年达到了历史以来的顶峰，也体现了研究者对第三方物流的关注和重视程度；2020~2021年间，2020年发文量为197篇，但是2021年为51篇，出现了急剧下降说明研究者们的研究重点进行了相应偏移。从研究作者来看，经过前几阶段的不断发展，更是形成了以张景雄、付雨芳为主体的四大研究网络，以关博等的N个独立的研究个体。在研究网络方面，研究作者整体处于内部联系紧密、外部联系较少的网络状态。从研究机构来看，我国第三方物流相关研究机构分布较为广泛；从研究关键词来看，第一部分是2002~2010年，研究者致力于与第三方物流企业效益等方面有关的研究，特别是供应链方面，第二部分是2011~2021年，随着第三方物流市场的不断发展与完善、第三方物流的不断创新、物流发展模式的不断更新，供应链、跨境电商等主题出现在专家学者们的研究视野。
Logistics is known as the “third party profit source”, and the third party logistics, as an important part of logistics services, is independent of both supply and demand, to provide customers with a special or comprehensive logistics system design or system operation of a logistics service mode, is of great significance to the development of social logistics in China. This study uses information visualization software Citespace to conduct information mining analysis on the academic papers from 2002 to 2021 with the third party logistics as the key word, draws the knowledge graph, and further summarizes the knowledge structure relationship of the third party logistics field. This paper finds that: In terms of the number of articles published, since the related concept of “third-party logistics” was first proposed in 2001, the academic research focusing on third-party logistics is in the basic research stage and the number of articles published is relatively small. From 2011 to 2014, the annual average number of articles published was about 47 with a little fluctuation, which was in a relatively stable growth period. From 2015 to 2019, the number of papers increased significantly, and reached the peak in 2019, which also reflected the researchers’ attention to and emphasis on third-party logistics. From 2020 to 2021, the number of articles published in 2020 is 197, but it is 51 in 2021, showing a sharp decline, indicating that researchers have shifted their research priorities accordingly. From the perspective of research authors, after the continuous development of the previous several stages, four research networks with Zhang Jingxiong and Fu Yufang as the main body and N independent research individuals with Guan Bo and others have been formed. In the aspect of network research, the authors are in the network state with close internal connection and less external connection
