Bibliometric visualization analysis of 'World Heritage' topic in web of science database using citespace by Wang, Suhua, Mohd Isa, Norliza, Li, Lintong, Shi, Keyi

“…Despite China ranking second in document publications, there is a need for increased international collaboration. (3) The most influential keywords include "Community", "The Great Barrier Reef" and "Managing World Heritage". (4) Heritage tourism, encompassing satisfaction, motivation, loyalty, and place attachment, emerges as the largest keyword cluster in the field of world heritage. (5) Recent research trends and hotspots include "Risk", "Building", "Intention", "Support", and "Stone". The research results provide a more comprehensive and systematic overview perspective for the world heritage field, which fills the gap and promotes the knowledge pursuit in the world heritage field.…”
