In this paper,by using scientific measurement method to analyse the present situation and research hotspots of six core journals in soft science field (2008-2018).Then the research found that China's soft science takes the national innovation-driven development strategy as its main research direction at present,and conducts research around hot issues and key links in the regional innovation system and innovation chain.In the mean time,this research found that all researchers involved works closely together.By means of descriptive analysis,this paper has a limited view of the current research situation in China's soft science field, and makes a prospect for the future development, providing reference for the prosperity and development of China's soft science.
