Abstract
The research literature related to Global Innovation Network (GIN) is analyzed to explore its development history, research hotspots and frontiers in the field of GIN, to provide references for future research. By using the bibliometric analysis tool Citespace, the Web of Science core database was used to conduct a computer visualization analysis of the evolution of the theme progress, knowledge structure and research frontiers of GIN re-search from 2016 to 2021. The results found that: 1) The research on GINs belongs to the interdisciplinary research scope. 2) The hotspots of the research theme process show an increase year by year and continue to explode, with terms such as global innovation networks and regional studies having prominent influence, while SMEs and foreign direct investment have been hot topics of research in the last three years. 3) The knowledge structure of GINs, i.e., the cited literature research, has obvious spatial structure charac-teristics in global networks, regional innovation and local-global linkages levels. Based on which four subfields of new development paths, competitive advantage, global value chain and cluster research are active research frontiers in GIN research.
