Mapping Intelligence Research Domain in China

A global view of intelligence research can reveal the intellectual structure of this domain. This research can also find the set of core researchers, show the literature citation network and institutional collaboration, and dig the research hotspot. All of the useful information can help both experts and newcomers in this domain gain a faster and deeper understanding of contemporary status to intelligence subject. This paper meets this need by using a global view framework through analysis intelligence domain literature data. The data were crawled from one of the biggest literature data website in China through a depth-first data crawler that we developed. The framework of this paper construct from four type of perspectives: (1) the basic analysis of the quantity of intelligence literature which can discern the core researchers, (2) confirm the property that the literature citation network has small-world property, the in degree distribution of the citation network accord with power-law distribution, simultaneously the out degree distribution also possess power-law distribution after we smooth the "crew cut" phenomena, (3) analysis to the research institutional collaboration pattern through Google map technique, so we can ascertain the main research city and the collaboration pattern among cities.
