Abstract

The study on academic writing has been attracting increasing interest in the fields of education, linguistics, psychology, sociology, etc. Using the articles in SSCI and A&HCI databases in the Web of Science TM Core Collection between 2009 and 2018 as the data, this present paper employs the visualization software of CiteSpace 5.3.R4 as the research tool to analyze the mapping knowledge domains of academic writing. With the presentation and discussion of the general features, keywords, and cited references of publications, the development and the trends of academic writing are shown. The research results suggest that academic writing has become an independent discipline integrating with theories and methods in other disciplines; the more specific topics such as writers’ identity, gender have become the research hotspots; genre analysis, sociological analysis and cognitive analysis have become the main research perspectives in academic writing.
