Abstract: Using mapping of science and information visualization to analyze 126244 citations of 4800 papers published in the six international journals of science studies during 1995-2004, we got the document co-citation map to identify the trend of research fronts of science studies. And by mapping of science studies we analyzed the potential intellectual structure and dynamics of science studies on the international academic arena during the last decades.

Key words: science studies, research fronts, mapping of science, document co-citation map
