Developments and Trends in Energy Poverty Research—Literature Visualization Analysis Based on CiteSpace

The purpose of this paper is to help better understand the problem energy poverty; grasp research context, evolution trends and hotspots find clues from on poverty. In paper, we use scientific quantitative knowledge graph method CiteSpace software analyze 814 studies in WOS (Web Science) CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) databases, such as a literature characteristic analysis, core author institution network hotspot frontier analysis. results show that specific connotations poverty are different between developed countries developing countries. countries, mainly manifested affordability consumption, while availability energy. causes, impacts solutions focus literature, their perspectives relatively consistent.
