摘要
[目的/意义]元宇宙或成为社会发展的下一个阶段,对元宇宙科学研究现状的认识很有必要。[方法 /过程]通过科学计量的分析方法,对Web of Science平台中包含的123篇元宇宙论文进行了分析。[结果/结论]元宇宙在科学研究中的讨论虽然已经有20余年,但种种统计结果表明元宇宙仍然处于萌芽阶段,研究成果的产出数量仍处在较低水平,元宇宙的研究在全球的分布并不广泛。在元宇宙的研究中,虚拟世界、第二人生、三维、虚拟化身以及沉浸等是热点研究主题。这些热点主题表明了虚拟现实及其关联技术在元宇宙的构建中具有重要作用,是人类从现实世界进入元宇宙的重要技术通道。当前元宇宙的高影响力论文多停留在对元宇宙诸多可能性的编织中,元宇宙尚未形成较为系统和公认的架构,还处在元宇宙"大爆炸"的初步阶段,需要理性和客观的认识。
[Purpose/Significance] Metaverse may be the next generation of human society, and it is necessary for us to understand the research status of the metaverse in scientific research. [Method/Process] In this article, the scientometrics methods were applied to analyze the 123 metaverse related publications from the Web of Science Core Collection. [Results/Conclusions] The results demonstrate that although the discussion on the metaverse research has been going on more than 20 years, various statistical results show that the metaverse is still in its infancy stage, the output of metaverse is still in a low quantity, and the global distribution of metaverse research is not extensive. Virtual world, second life, three-dimensional, avatar, and immersion are the most active keywords in the metaverse research. The hot topics of the research show that virtual reality-related technologies are important elements in constructing the metaverse. Virtual reality technology has become a channel to connect the real world and the metaverse. At present, the highly influential papers of the metaverse mostly stay in the weaving of many possibilities of the metaverse, and the metaverse has not yet formed a systematic and recognized framework. We are still in the preliminary stage of the metaverse "Big Bang", which requires a rational and objective understanding of metaverse tide.
