Abstract: To analyze the development and frontier of safety science research, papers in China Safety Science Journal and Safety Science among years 2006-2015 were chosen as the data samples. The high frequency terms were extracted from the English titles and abstracts of the papers, and analyzed by using mapping and clustering methods from VOSviewer. The authors have come to the conclusion that in the past ten years, China's safety science research paid close attention to the themes of enterprise safety, coal, and explosion and organization supervision, that the themes can be classified into five large groups and they are the safety life science, the safety natural science, the safety technology science, the safety social science and the safety system science, and that the international safety science research has shown more social science attributes.
