Abstract:

To comprehensively understand the research situation of domestic accident causation and provide scientific and technological information support for the research of accident causation in China, the output, research strength and research hotspots of 314 research papers included in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were analyzed through the method of safemetrics. The results show that the research on accident causations in China has gone through two stages. In the first stage (1992-2007)-the embryonic stage, there were few annual papers on accident causations. After entering the second stage (2008-2020), the research on accident causations in China has entered a period of rapid development, and the overall output has shown an significant growth trend. The research papers of accident causation are mainly published in safety journals such as China Safety Science Journal, Journal of Safety Science and Technology and Safety in Coal Mines etc.. The strength of accident causation research in China was relatively scattered, and the cooperation network was dominated by teacher-student cooperation within the organization. The research team is mainly composed of FU Gui, WU Chao, TIAN Shuicheng and FAN Yunxiao. The research on accident causation in the two stages shows significant differences, and stays in a single descriptive analysis and practice at the beginning. After entering the new period, the research content and application are more abundant, and the theory and method of accident causation in China are gradually formed.
