The hotspots in a specific research field are constantly changing,which is one of the concerns of researchers.This paper measures the keywords in the documents of library and information science field,and classifies the keywords by using the word frequency changes in different time periods.At the same time,a selection method of hotspots keywords with rapid growth and decline is constructed,and the visual co-word network is used to analyze the changes and characteristics of the field research content.The paper provides references for the field researchers to grasp and determine the direction of research.
