Comrade Xiaoping's scientific and technological thought is an important part of Comrade Xiaoping's theory. Using CiteSpace to visualize and analyze the research literature on Comrade Xiaoping's scientific and technological thought in the CNKI database in the past 30 years, it is found that the research chronology can be divided into three phases: fluctuating upward, continuing downward and falling into silence. In terms of research space, although a stable core group of authors has been formed, it is mostly one-way cooperative research, and the research institutions as a whole show a balanced pattern between the north and the south, and mainly rely on academic platforms related to Comrade Xiaoping's research to carry out research. In terms of research content, the research hotspots focus on four aspects: first, the theoretical research on Comrade Xiaoping's scientific and technological thought; second, the practical research on Comrade Xiaoping's scientific and technological thought; third, the research on the inheritance and development of Comrade Xiaoping's scientific and technological thought; and fourth, the research on Comrade Xiaoping's thesis on science and technology, education and talents. Future research should return to the classical literature and discover new issues; base on the national strategic needs of the new era and explore the contemporary value of Comrade Xiaoping's thought on science and technology; strengthen the communication and cooperation among relevant scholars and organizations, and carry out cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary research.
