ABSTRACT: Objective: This paper analyzes
the literature on the topic of privacy protection based on the core databases
included in China Knowledge Network (CNKI) and Web of Science (WOS) from 1976
to 2022, and provides reference for the subsequent research on privacy
protection in China by comparing and summarizing the status of domestic and
foreign research. Methods: The Web of science core collection database
was used as the foreign data source, and the China Knowledge Network database
was used as the domestic data source to retrieve the relevant literature built
up to August 2, 2022, and the authors, countries, institutions, and keywords
were compared and visualized by CiteSpace 6.1.R2 (64-bit). Results: A total of 8223 English-language
and 4573 Chinese-language papers were included, and the number of relevant
studies both at home and abroad was on the rise. Foreign scholars and
institutions cooperate closely with each other and build a stable cooperation network;
while the number of domestic research teams is small and cooperation is
limited. Privacy concern and privacy protection are common research focuses at
home and abroad, while foreign research focuses on online privacy concern and
domestic research pays more attention to computer science privacy protection
model. Privacy information is a current international research hotspot, and
domestic AI privacy protection concerns are high. Conclusion: Domestic
and foreign research in this field is increasingly concerned but each has its
own focus, and domestic research has problems such as lack of cooperation and
lagging research that need to be improved, and privacy protection is a
direction worthy of in-depth research in the future.
