Abstract

Against digital technologies reshaping the educational ecosystem, China’s higher education policy system has shifted from scale expansion to connotative development. Using 2015–2025 core CNKI literature, this study employs CiteSpace to construct knowledge graphs and identify research trends/frontiers. Key findings: (1) Publication volume and policy innovation show significant dynamic coupling, evolving through three stages: “structure optimization-quality enhancement-innovation-driven”; (2) Research hotspots have transitioned to “generative AI” and “metaverse education” from traditional topics, with technology-enabled research growing 34% annually and AI keywords’ burst strength at 7.65; (3) Core institutions agglomerate in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta; (4) Only 17% of “Belt and Road” international comparative research focuses on localization. The study develops a three-dimensional framework and “Policy Tool Synergy Index” model, revealing technology’s reconstructive effects. Findings support policy optimization and regional coordination, offering critical theoretical and practical references. Future research should focus on technological ethics, central-western adaptability, and policy simulation systems to advance policy modernization.
