Abstract:In order to comprehensively understand the research status and development frontier of the industries of the future, this paper adopted the bibliometrics method, took the data of CNKI and WOS papers as the research object to maintain the literature sequence, core institutions, important authors and research hotspots respectively. The results showed that in recent years, the research on the future industry had increased significantly both at home and abroad, and well-known universities such as University of London, University of California, Florida State University, Tsinghua University, Nanjing University, Renmin University had carried out research on the industries of the future. At the same time, a research community centered on important authors such as Huang Lucheng, Zhang Jie, Kim, J, and Kumar, was formed, and the researches were carried out through close cooperation. Research hotspots included artificial intelligence, new energy, information technology, industrial Internet, quantum information and meta-universe.
