摘要: Urban resilience is concerned by the scholars in the world, especially in light of new uncertainty
challenges for cities such as natural disasters and man-made disasters. We performed a bibiometric
analysis on urban resilience research based on the 1296 articles in the SCI, SCIE, SSCI and
A&HCI database from 1986 to 2015. Publication trends were discussed in HistCite to reveal the
publication outputs, subject categories and publication pattern, most prolific authors and international
productivity. The document co-citation analysis was made in CiteSpace III to explore the
research basements and research trajectories, emerging trends and new developments. Growth of
article output has emerged since 2003. Environmental studies and environmental sciences came
out the most urban resilience articles. Ecology and Society was the most productive journal in this
area. Barthel was the most prolific author. USA and UK were the most productive countries, and
Arizona State University was the most high-productive institution, but the cooperation is lacking
in the worldwide. Two streams were detected from the co-cited papers. “Governance”, “climatechange”
and “city” are research hotspots of urban resilience according to the strongest citation
bursts of keywords, and Folke’s paper published in 2006 has the strongest bursts. Future research
will focus on ecosystem service, adaptive capacity and human-dominated ecosystem.
